Definitely a tough situation. We are trying to balance between granting the TO asap before a turnover and making dern sure they want one. Only a couple of people would know for sure, but it does sound kinda fishy like he may have pulled a fast one. Thanks for sharing, may we all have hightened awareness for such situations. Btw, did anyone else see the official grant a TO to the trapped player late in the Duke game? Watching it live from the camera in the rafters it looked like a good call. They didn't have any TO's left and they started claiming they didn't request one, he stuck with it and gave them a tech, game was over anyway. But on the close-up replays, it didn't look like he ever requested a timeout, though his hands clasped together on the ball and that is when the official granted him a TO. Thinking maybe the official had a mometary lapse and forgot that they were out of timeouts, in which case he would have been very hesitant about granting one.
