re: 13-0 run and Jones sits on his full allotment of timeouts

but when teams go on multiple 10-12-0 runs you have to use a timeout.

Oh, I agree heartbreak. Those are head scratchers. I think there are way too many timeouts allotted in basketball considering you already get 4 per half for t.v.

But if you have them, those are the situations to use them.

Now this end of the game stuff with all the timeouts..... maddening. My old high school coach used to tell us,"y'all know what to do, we practice situationals all the time". Plus if you play on you don't give the other team time to situationally substitute, set up and match up defensively.
