TO request when you have no timeouts

Longhorn, you only used a fraction of my post, which makes your post inaccurate and unfair. My full post read:

Who's saying that I or anyone is saying the ref didn't know what he was saying? I know they know more than I do as far as the rules go. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't but it would have been just for clarification purposes just like how I confided and some other refs after my game. I just want a better understanding. This is not a hot dog swinging contest. In my example, it was tied w/ seconds left. The other team had 0 TOs but still called TO, it wasn't granted. The tech would have allowed us to hit or miss our FTs but we would have gotten the ball. Let the game end in the teams' hands not at the hands of the refs.

I like what Missouri does. I'm not saying their protest procedure is perfect. I'm doing my research and I called them and left a voice mail. Again, no one is trying to undermine the ref but sometimes like in my case it's too late. The team we lost to in OT by 1, won it all last night by 3.

UPDATE: This is an e-mail I received that was sent to ALL the refs in my district. I just happen to be friends w/ some and they shared it w/ me. I left out the e-mail address & name for obvious reasons.

A coach or a player can call time-outs in excess of the
allotted number. It may be requested and shall be
granted at the expense of a technical foul, even if
you have told both teams that they were out of
time-outs.

Rule 5 Section 11 Art. 6.

Thanks
