Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4854122, member: 181"] I wouldn't mind if early in a game, the refs could call an Officials Timeout and tell the appropriate coach(es), "Yeah, no, you're gonna need a different game plan than what's been showing up so far. We're gonna be calling these fouls, so things don't get out of control." Then, let the coach(es) use the balance of this non-charged timeout to speak with their players. Of course, it ain't gonna happen. I only said I wouldn't mind if it did. Then again, a coach might respond, "Well if you do that, then we can't win, so we're just gonna forfeit. You guys can let the crowd know." Maybe if there's a forfeit, every ticket holder gets a $2 beer and an unhurried emptying of the arena. Not sure about whether or not scheduled halftime entertainment gets "the show must go on" treatment. I need something else to fill my time before tonight's tip-off. [/QUOTE]
