I'm not a coach, just a parent. I'm talking about coaches calling excessive time outs to kill momentum and stall the game. I hate it. It's annoying and I think it's rather pitiful. And I don't care if you believe me or not, though I can't imagine why I'd fake an opinion.
Okay, what you said is not an opinion, it's what you believe in and literally how you would run a team, if you coached. That's easier said than done. Now that I know you a very little bit, let me say what I said differently.
Things and how you process thoughts come differently inside the fence, and most decisions are reactive, sometimes without much time to consider options. It's either yes or no, steal or don't steal, tag or don't tag, bunt or don't bunt, etc.
I feel, if you were a coach and you were put in the situation I described you would reconsider "what you would do". That's all. If it meant winning your first tournament, I feel if the rules could help you in those final two minutes, you would reconsider.
