Worth remembering, A Coach can never CALL a TO, he, or a player, can REQUEST one, but the official calls (and signals for) one.

Wow, thanks. My life just changed.

Not nearly a "life changer", but a gentle reminder that the time on the clock, when the coach decides to ask for a TO, means nothing. The time on the clock when the covering official hears and acknowledges the coach's request, by signalling for a TO is what's relevant (with some small allowance for the signal to be received and executed).

At times there can be a noticeable difference between both observations,(Coach requesting, Official declaring) and if the covering official remembers to look at the clock when he's signalling, it can avoid a lot of needless confusion, because he'll KNOW the correct answer.

There are coaches that think the minute they speak about a timeout that the clock must stop immediately. So there is a point to be made about the request and the granting of a timeout.

Peace
