Calipari let LSU go on a 16-0 run and didn't call a timeout
Calipari specifically said that he did that because he was trying to teach them a lesson after getting a stupid technical and to play through it. You have that luxury when you are 26-0 and a lock for a #1 seed, not a team that is on the bubble outside looking in. CJJ has misused TOs all season while giving up huge runs.

So have you ever asked, or heard anyone ask CJJ why he does it?

Cal does it a lot. So does Phil Jackson and Pitino. There are different schools of thought on this. Coaches that like pace will sometimes keep gunning because they get better shots that way. Not all teams get their best shots by running a set piece. I remember on one particular play when I thought Jones would take a time out, Gray made the keep rolling motion while walking it into the front court, then he hit a full spring and hit Martin on an alley oop. That was better than any set piece Jones has in his arsenal.

We can all criticise his use of timeouts as much or more than any coach. That's about style of coaching more than anything though. If anything we can say that Coach Jones has done a poorjob of adapting to his personnel. But one key thing that most people don't realize is that the strength of this team is getting out on the break and scoring in the open floor. We don't have the players to do that consistently yet but when we're at our best that is what we do. Calling timeouts during a run is not going to necessarily benefit us unless we're tired. We're not a good half court team right now and that's due to personnel.
