Pocola turned the ball over and then Walters did the same so I left out 19 seconds of sloppy action because I only had 1:30 of TV time to use. Not for sure what you mean by "teams" cannot call timeout. What would have been accurate there ? Thanks for your help.
Sorry - I thought it was a paid announcer. Having previously been a radio play-by-play guy (back in the olden days), I get overly critical of those guys. Actually, you did a pretty good job for the type of description you were trying to achieve. For the timeout comment, you can just say "after a timeout" or "after a (insert name of team here) timeout". As to the timing, when you said the layup was made with under 30 seconds to go, the video showed the clock with 9.2 seconds. That's where my comment came from.

Hey - just ignore me. Everyone else does.
