I do not think that calling a time out would necessarily been the best plan. MSST is a young team and was making mistakes in the second half at a faster clip than even the Flyers. I would be inclined to avoid the time out which would give Howland a chance to coach up his team for a better defense. I would prefer to see if the MSST could keep their poise with all the pressure on them or if DD or Josh could make something happen.
It did not work well for the Flyers but this does not necessarily mean it was totally crazy.
