I wonder if he's trying to avoid something like the Terrance Jones announcement?
If he announces when Cal has to "be at work", then he wont get that "guilt trip" phone call that talks him into winning a national championship.
Or ... he's wanting to see if Cal will call him from the bench during the game. Cal is cool enough to pull that off IMO.
Im mostly being sarcastic...
