2 timeouts on the board

[bocabull]

At the end of regulation. Kruger did this at the end of the KSU game too. Is he asleep over there?

Welcome Boca. Even an ugly W is still sweet!

LK has always been this way.... It's not going to change now. He believes his teams are prepared for these situations and doesn't want to give the other team a chance to scheme. The results havent been great but he's not gonna change now over 600 wins into his coaching career. We got a big 12 road win against a team that was hitting shots it had no business hitting and on a day where our best player wasn't feeling it. I'll take it every time.

I think he can cash them in at the end of the year at Dave and Busters and get a purple gorilla?

The clock doesn't start until the ball is touched inbounds. It's impossible to get a good shot in 3 seconds without making a longer inbounds pass, calling time out and setting up a play. Are you saying Kruger is not calling timeout because Weber & Tubby will out coach him with the extra time?

 

[Max Power]

In college you don't get to move the ball up so he can call he same play he would draw up in order to go full court in 3 seconds.

I'm not arguing with you, but it is frustrating as a fan to see timeouts left on the table. I know Lon Kruger is smart enough to draw up a good offensive set after a timeout. There may also be situations which call for offensive-defensive substitutions late in the game. The best coaches thrive on these scenarios...not sure why Lon is indifferent to timeouts.

Well stated. I would like to get some insight as to his philosophies with timeouts.....besides just to save them.

This is an idiotic argument. Let Lon coach the team as he sees fit.

Then what would be the point of a message board discussion ?

Most of us understand he has a style that he's sticking to, but some like myself just wish we understood the WHY part of it.

You're right, WaymanFan. Didn't mean to flame.
