Best Answer

A football coach cannot pre-arrange a timeout at a specific point. When a time out is needed, it must be signaled to the Referee.

Reasons why it cant be prearranged:

  • There might be an ongoing play. An active play cannot be stopped by a time out
  • The game clock may already be stopped for another reason, ie a commercial, a referee stoppage or an on-field injury
  • Teams are allowed only three timeouts per half. They might not have a timeout remaining.
