Provided the defense is ready to play when the offense is ready to play, then I think it is yes. The reason it works the other way (defense requests time for a conference), is that the offense can see the defensive coach leaving the field and can be ready to play before the coach is off the field.My first question:
Offensive team takes a timeout to discuss strategy. Can the defensive coach go to the mound and talk with the pitcher without being charged with a trip to the mound?
