What orafice did the coach pull this one out of?

[w_sohl]

Sophomore girls game, visitors attempting to inbound the ball and coach requests time out just before girl throws ball away and I grant it. Would have been a turn over had coach not requested time. After I report the TO to the table the home coach says to me that he can't call time after three seconds have elapsed. I almost laughed in his face, but then I remembered that he is just coaching till he gets tenure...
