I understand the difference in positions... the official could've simply said he didn't "hear" the request. I dont see how a tape can validate an officials hearing or lack there of In camp settings its better to say 'I didn't see/hear it" instead of "I passed because."

Just like saving a foul or putting a foul on the defender with the least amount of fouls when more than one is at the scene of the crime. Whats viewed as good game management by some can be viewed as integrity issues by others.
Know who you're working for as well as their isms & expectations!

Now, back to my question....when the ball is dead and the clock is not running, exactly what unfair advantage is the current rule penalizing when an excess timeout is requested. Assume that the request is unambiguous and is not complicated by other factors.....i.e., you've just finished reporting a foul and the coach both visually and verbally makes the timeout request where everyone in the gym can see it. You start to report the timeout and the table informs you that the team has no timeouts remaining. Why not change the rule to just resume play unless the coach wants the timeout in exchange for a T. A T for that seems like overkill. However, if the ball is live or the clock is running, the whistle that comes in response to the request changes the game. It stops the clock or it gets the team out of a precarious situation. That can certainly be an advantage.

I've been "instructed" by senior officials down here to throw a bone to the losing team in blow outs. Close OOB calls, borderline fouls, borderline travels, thrower stepping over the line following a made basket. But I wouldn't claim to have not seen them. If anything, "You're right, coach, I missed it." Most coaches here expect it, though. As long as you're not letting the game get too physical, they're ok with it. Knowing full well you heard it yet telling an evaluator you didn't hear it, however, is something I couldn't do. It would be better, IMO, and more honest, to simply say you'd been instructed previously to ignore it in those situations. And I would only give a defender a foul if he actually made contact. If B5 has 4 fouls and B1 has none, I'm not giving it to B1 unless he actually made contact.
