On a few occassions a coach has called a time out. On the way out to the huddle he takes a detour over to me and starts asking questions. At that point I need to determine whether he wants a conference or is just taking a quick shot on the way to his team. WHen you ask a coach if they want a conference they usually look at you with complete confusion. I am suprised that so very few coaches take advantage of this rule. I have 2 brothers who are head coaches (the gene pool gets a little shallow in my family) and I tell them to use it. Guess how many times they have done it. zero.
