re: Why do our coaches huddle on the court sans players during timeouts?

I've often wondered the same thing. My guess would be, by rule they are only allowed to meet with players for an set amount of time (30 or a full minute) during breaks in the action. Thus during the 3 or 4 minute media time outs they can only talk with the players for a small portion of the time out. So they discuss with the coaches before they talk with the players. Just a thought, I'm probably way off
