I do not think it is my fault if coaches do not know how many timeouts they have. I think that is their responsibility like it is their responsibility to not have 6 on the court. At least the 6 on the court is something we have something to do with because we put the ball in play. Coaches have 8 assistants and one of them is usually keeping track of their timeouts. Actually when I ask coaches what kind of timeout they have, they usually tell me what they are left with. I have never bought that this is essential or the world is going to end if I do not tell a coach he is out or worse, how many timeouts they have left.

Peace
