I wasnt trying to make it a Monty thing. I think he generally does a nice job on ATOs, assuming they get the ball in.

This goes back to the chaos theory from a panel.at SLOAN.

He does tend to wait too long for TOs to stop runs, but that isn't a big pet peeve for me.

Yeah, it seems like the primary reason to call the time out is to switch personnel and advance the ball.


Certainly time and situation matter. 2 seconds, down by 3 you want shooters and an ATO. But 8 seconds, 2 pt or less margin? Maybe the return diminshes if you call a TO just to run high pnr?

If healthy and the starters are on the floor, they really shouldn't need to call a timeout. Monty just needs to signal the play or the player he wants to go with.

Interesting link on Andrew Nicholson and the dangers of a young player adding new facets to his game at the expense of old strengths. (H/T to SI Point Forward blog)

Over his last 10 games, Davis is taking more mid range shots than RA shots. Obviously injuries have played a role in his shot distribution and changed how defenses play him. And luckily, Davis is good at everything.
