Who is Lisa?  And, wouldn't a head coach yelling "timeout" get them a timeout?

I didn't see or hear the incident(s). Can someone identify when they happened so I can try to see it in the replay?

The game officials were Lisa Jones, Rod Creech, Brandon Enterline. Calls to "Lisa" were presumably trying to get her attention (aka distract her from what she was doing at the time).

RULE 9
Violations and Penalties
Section 1. Free-Throw Violations
Art. 1. After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free-thrower, it is a violation
when:
f. An opponent (player or bench personnel) disconcerts (e.g., taunts, baits,
gestures or delays) the free-thrower.

Timeouts are requested and potentially granted. I see no rule that prohibits requesting timeouts when you know they can't be granted. I would normally think that calls for timeouts while the other team was in possession of the ball to make a FT was an intentional distraction. But, before possession or after the ball is released, that's not unreasonable.

I did see Pitt bring the ball in under the Stanford basket, dribble to their bench, and then call a timeout, when they could have just called a timeout and advanced the ball without there risk or the time loss. Poor coaching? Inattentive players?
