Not sure what a TO would have done.
Come on Nik, when the other team gets on a roll you need to call a TO to quell momentum, especially on the road. Not to mention to regroup and calm things down on your own team.

It was a 17-0 run, but hey, who's countingIf that were the case, you’d be out of time outs with about 5 minutes left in the first half in a lot of games. 6-0 runs happen ALLLLL the time in basketball.
That's one philosophy. If I don't see bad body language and bad defense, I would not call a TO.Come on Nik, when the other team gets on a roll you need to call a TO to quell momentum, especially on the road. Not to mention to regroup and calm things down on your own team.
Did you read the post I was responding to?It was a 17-0 run, but hey, who's counting
First half is different than the second halfIf that were the case, you’d be out of time outs with about 5 minutes left in the first half in a lot of games. 6-0 runs happen ALLLLL the time in basketball.
Did you see us turn the ball over 8 times in a 3 minute stretch?That's one philosophy. If I don't see bad body language and bad defense, I would not call a TO.
Yeah...defending not calling a TO is purely being a Tad apologist in this case. You always use your TOs to stop runs. ALWAYS.Did you see us turn the ball over 8 times in a 3 minute stretch?
Not sure body language is the indicator here
A 5 point lead became a 10 point deficit- but heck we still have 3 time outs. At some point a bandaid might be needed to stop the blood flow.That's one philosophy. If I don't see bad body language and bad defense, I would not call a TO.
Agreed.At the end of the day, we're a flawed team playing at a team I expect to be in at least the Elite 8.
I'm not disagreeing so much as saying it's not the only way to play it. And the tv timeout was in the middle of the run but did nothing to help.A 5 point lead became a 10 point deficit- but heck we still have 3 time outs. At some point a bandaid might be needed to stop the blood flow.
Do the TV timeouts come immediately after good / bad plays by our team, or just whenever in the game they come?Did you read the post I was responding to?
There was a time out in the middle of that run. The media time out. Do those not count? Do you think during the media time outs the teams just stand on the court and don’t treat it like a called time out?
And we should have won this except out coach refuse to do something every other coach in existence does.At the end of the day, we're a flawed team playing at a team I expect to be in at least the Elite 8.
It's the exact opposite of the ONLY ****ing way Tad will play it.I'm not disagreeing so much as saying it's not the only way to play it. And the tv timeout was in the middle of the run but did nothing to help.
You forgot the flawed coach part.At the end of the day, we're a flawed team playing at a team I expect to be in at least the Elite 8.
You think we should have won this? The only way we were winning this was if UCLA stayed ice cold and the refs would have not allowed them to play aggressive defense.And we should have won this except out coach refuse to do something every other coach in existence does.
Don't make excuses for this one. Tad blew this.
You wouldn’t have any left at the end of the game.When youre on the road, you don't allow more than three straight baskets before calling a TO
If you think we lost this game because Tad didn’t call a time out, you are clueless. We’re overmatched, and we’ve turned the ball over 20 times. Had a chance to maybe steal the game because UCLA missed their first 15 3s. UCLA turned on the defense, we didn’t respond, and some shots for UCLA started falling.
Jaquez is by a wide margin the best player on the floor, and Bona was the clearly the second best player in the second half.
Refs aren't to blame here, and I'm all for blaming refs.You think we should have won this? The only way we were winning this was if UCLA stayed ice cold and the refs would have not allowed them to play aggressive defense.
Also, we were up 9 points with how much time left, and you act like this game was unwinnable...You think we should have won this? The only way we were winning this was if UCLA stayed ice cold and the refs would have not allowed them to play aggressive defense.
