What do timeouts have to do with any of this?

The coach of ABC still had 3 timeouts with only 9.4 seconds left on the clock. All we can do is guess, but I think SAJ means the coach should have used his timeouts earlier so as to preserve more time on the clock.

And that has nothing to do with the officials misapplying a rule.

Most time-out are called when the clock is stopped or when that team is in possession of the ball, don't see how that would preserve time on the clock.

It's not football where you have downs.
