Each to their own I guess. I get that...when you had last years team. Worst thing that happens is a tie and you go to OT.
This team is different. Three freshman on the court in a classic pee down your leg juncture of a game. Call the timeout...yes...it was a turnover machine of a game. Why is there any more of a chance to commit a turnover after the TO that the way it went down?
Here is the problem...you call the TO and you draw up a good play and the execution is poor you blame the players. You call the TO and you draw up garbage that isn't executed it is on the coach. You let it play out like it did and it's on the players.
2 out of the 3 scenarios reduce the liability on the coach for a bad play drawn up out of a timeout. This team is not an NBA team by any means. This team has to be coached more like a HS team. They needed the guidance at that point in time. The guys on the floor weren't 5 lockdown offensive players you see at the next level that you can just cut loose and expect good things to happen. These guys needed a one hitter out of the timeout that guarantees that a shot gets off or the clock expires on the UD end of the floor.
