Since I will have already found out who the head coach is on my side and reminded him before the game starts that he is the only coach from whom I can accept a time out, I will happily and quietly ignore the DC.

I find it just as easy to tell the coach before the game if I hear "time out", I assume it is him and will grant the time out. If this is not what he wishes, then he needs to keep his assistant coaches quiet all night long. After that, we don't usually have a problem with assistants calling anything.

Just point at a player on the sideline next to the coach, have him step out and ask for a timeout
