You call a timeout when you see something that needs a lot of explaining.... The game plan should be pretty well set and the players should be able to see where they are relative to it. IMHO, just calling "time out" does nothing.

It has far more to do with attempting to stall the momentum of your opponent than it does trying to instill some type of head-strong into your team, although it never hurts to have a coach that can recognize things without the players running full speed past them..Also, look at the depth and mpg these guys are playing...
