RE: the proposed new rule allowing coaches to call time out.
Nothing good can come of this.
Calling time outs for most of the game would be a non issue. But, at time-sensitive points in the game (end of half, end of game) when conserving time is crucial, it may be very difficult to get the time out call from the coach. And if he comes running down the sideline, on the field to get your attention, what are you going to do? Flag him? I think not.
What are we fixing with this rule change? If a coach needs to spend more time explaining the importance of clock management to his captains, that's why he's the coach. Right? To teach his kids that at critical points in the game, players need to consider the clock and/or pay attention to a coach with his veins bulging as he trys to get their attention for a time out.
