A Thought
Watching the NCAA Tournament last weekend, I was reminded of how much coaches are ruining the entertainment value of college basketball.They get five timeouts a half. FIVE. And they use these timeouts to engage in a staggering level of micro-management, which is the absolute opposite of fun.
If it was legal for a coach to be on the court as long as he wasn't touching the court, I guarantee you most of the D1 coaches would force a player to carry them piggyback for the entire game so they could constantly yell instructions in their ear.
This weekend, though, I had a wonderful idea. Let coaches have as many timeouts as they want. They can call ten timeouts a half, if they want to.
Each timeout costs them two points.
What I enjoy most about this is how it would put coaches into this infinite loop of min-maxing that would paralyze most of them. The mental calculus would be staggering.
It would be delicious.
