Coach Ollie has been criticized multiple times this season for not calling timeouts to halt an opponent's run, which we've seen often this season and which have changed the complexion of games very quickly. I don't think it is KO's fault.
The NCAA changed the timeout rules before the 2015-16 season, reducing each team's timeouts from 5 to 4 while having the 'scripted' timeouts at deadballs at the 16, 12 8, and 4 minute marks. That forces the coaches to hoard their timeouts for the end of games, so most of them will only call 1 timeout in the first half that can't be carried to the second half.
What I'd to see is the NCAA giving that timeout back to the coaches in exchange for 1 of those deadball TO's, so there wouldn't be any additional TO's in the game, but you'd be giving back a little more control to the coaches.Would the advertisers agree to this? They'd still get the same number of commercial spots.
