Officials time out for heat

[mikesears]

Legal. This is one of the three officials timeouts in which a coach may hold an authorized conference.

The three are:

1. Heat and Humidity Timeout.

2. TV/Radio Timeout

3. The one minute intermission between the 1st and 2nd period and the 3rd and 4th period and following a try, successful field goal or safety, and prior to the succeeding free kick.

(Pulls out soap box)
I don't see why guys so adamently won't allow it. First,the rule is clear that it is allowed. Second, the coach is probably the best person to determine if a player is acting out of sorts. Heat can kill. Allow the coach out there to determine if the players are okay.
