Timeouts are granted after refs acknowledge them. Why don’t they allow coaches to press a button on a device to call timeouts?

We all have seen refs slow to acknowledge timeouts which leads to precious seconds wasted and hurt the team you support.

This is a 10+ billion business and they need to better. Technology is there to help refs not replace them.

Don’t get me started on why we still use refs to spot the ball lol
