Don't even get me going on this! If a coach decides to use a timeout before the TV timeout, then the media timeout should get ditched.
In tonight's game, at the 15:01 mark of the second half, Cincy called a timeout to stop a UConn run. On their next possession, which lasted all of 6 seconds, Cincy threw the ball out of bounds and there was a TV timeout at the 14:55 mark. We actually timed it and there was over 5 minutes of play stoppage sandwiched around one offensive possession lasting 6 seconds.
If both teams use their full complement of timeouts, there are 18 timeouts in a 40-minute game. (8 TV timeouts per game plus 5 timeouts per team.)
I know TV and money rule the college landscape, but this is just not right. Which means nothing will change.
