My beef with AG not calling a timeout had zero to do with instruction or over-coaching.
The first media timeout did not occur until nearly the 13 minute mark of the first half. The boys were gassed and AG was playing with a short bench of his own doing. Oh, and by the way, Tulsa was having their way with us. Call a friggin' timeout.
The other scenario was around the 5 min mark in the 2nd half when he wanted to (finally) sub out Frankie or Mikesell with Obi and Tulsa had 3 possesions w/out a stoppage of play where they were able to isolate those two and get easy buckets or fouls. Call a friggin' timeout.
