I've had the same thing happen to me recently. Girls HS game, female HC with a soft voice who was trying to get our attention (2-man in MA) because she wanted a TO.

I eventually heard her and granted the TO, but more time came off the clock then she would have liked.

This will happen as long as coaches insist on retaining rules that allow them to call time outs when the ball is live, especially in 2 person crews.

Time outs should be called by players when the ball is live.
