Brad with the late timeout.
Maybe he just expects his team not to be **** stupid. We shouldn't need a timeout to tell everyone not to turn the ball over.
This. It's not college. One of the key tenets of leadership is not to say anything the follower already knows. That gets tedious for followers to hear.
Not sure what some of you guys think the coach's job is to do. I think that's exactly what he is supposed to do - calm them down in that situation, even if they already theoretically "know" they need to calm and settle down. Just the fact of them taking a brief break on the bench settles them down and can sometimes curb the rhythm that the other team has going, let alone calm down the crowd.
And by this logic of "not saying anything the follower already knows," wouldn't virtually everything that Brad typically says be "tedious" for the followers to hear? He regularly reminds player to "settle down," "move the ball," "hold for one," etc., yet you consistently hear hem say these things.
