During a part of the game when there is little to no action. I know it's not legal, but he got feedback from AD's and coaches who would appreciate this. Your thoughts?
Well, they do it in the pros and in college, and occasionally in hs. It's not called a substitute stoppage, it's called a "media time-out." Can't see that this would be a bad thing in ms.
Well, all those media timeouts can only occur on an otherwise natural whistle. They don't stop a live ball for a time out. Those points are already substitution opportunities.
