Ignore time out?
Situation:
Last minute, Team A coach, down by 1 point, loudly calls for timeout. The coach doesn't have any timeouts left. Ignore it? What if Team B coach hears it and says "that's a technical". Still ignore it? |

TO request
Do not ignore, if you are close to the coach, ask him if he is sure he wants a timeout. After the final timeout prior to this request, you or your partner should've notified him that he had none left. I give each coach the courtesy when they request at a time that may not be optimal for their situation prior to administering the TO. In this case, you grant it, then "T" the coach.

However, if an action unknown to the requester was pending, I would confirm the request after the new information.

Don't ignore it
Ignore Coach B. Grant the timeout requested by Coach A. And you may not have time to ask or confirm. Had a situation several years ago where Team A, down by 4, scored with just a few seconds left in the game. Coach A requested a time out. Knowing he didn't have any left I almost hesitated but granted the time out. The coach's strategy almost worked. Team B missed the 2 free throws for the excess time out and Team A almost got the steal on the division line throw in. It was their only hope and a great move by the coach.

It's required.

Why would you ignore it?

Is your job to coach or to administer the rules as set forth in the rule book? Coach asks for a timeout when he is entitled to request one, why would you not grant it?

If that is the situation, the R could request a new scorer. Anyone at the table can be replaced if they misapply a rule concerning their duties/responsibilities.

I do not care if they tell me or not, the coach better know their situation with all their assistant coaches they have on their bench. Peace

Maybe he only wants a timeout to tie his shoe?
