TO request when you have no timeouts

This is not about being right, how are you going to even know what their timeout situation is in the first place?

If you want to go spending your time at the table, be my guest. I am not doing that and I think I am OK doing what I have been doing. No one cares about this but guys like you. Never had a single supervisor care and even had people suggest we have to be careful with what we tell coaches as if that information is wrong, who do you think they are going to claim told them the wrong information if we are constantly telling them stuff?

Peace

I know because when I report the timeout the scorer holds up a fist to let me know the team is now out. When the scorer does that, I relay it to the coach after the time-out, because that's what we're supposed to do. It doesn't involve spending any time at the table, guessing, or keeping track of the time-out situation.

We're not constantly telling the coaches stuff. At most, you tell a coach once per game he's out of time-outs.

I'm continually amazed at the amount of things we're required to do by rule that you can't be bothered with.
