Why the 17 does Howland call TO's with

45 seconds until a TV timeout and leave us none at the end of every 17ing game?

Does he do that every game?

Stateu1 could do much better. Hire this man. (Or woman

Seems like he does it most games. We never seem to have timeouts left in the final minute when we really need them.

Stans did that. Stans explained that it gives player(s) he just took out a longer and better rest. For just 45 seconds of playing time, they can get a 5 minute or more rest.

I don't remember Stans running out of timeouts, though. So maybe Howland does it more or takes more 'regular' timeouts.

He calls very good TO’s I think. Never lets other team get the Mo and even calls timeouts after baskets to set the D in critical situations.

That’s because they reduced the amount of timeouts from 5 to 4 a few years ago. Calling TO before a media TO is really smart when you’re limited on bodies. It steals rest minutes but allows players to still play a full compliment of game minutes.

For example if we call TO at 4:05 and sub Q out he gets rest during the 30 second timeout. Gameplay begins and then at the 3:30 mark there’s a dead ball. So there’s the automatic under 4:00 media timeout that will occur which is a full timeout. So in 35 seconds of gameplay Q would have gotten 5-6 actual minutes of rest to try and close a game.
