I'm with you there. Coaches that are bad at game management use them way too late
Exactly. I guess they don’t want the stress of being on offense without timeouts, but you have multiple clock management tools on offense, from clocking the ball, to throwing past the sticks, to getting out of bounds, to simply doing shit quickly. They’re there, and the more time you have, the less you will need to rely on them.
You have almost no legitimate equivalents on defense. Every single timeout you use against a team playing four-minute offense saves you 39 seconds of game clock. I’d say that it’s always worthwhile to burn two, and it’s only going to be rarely that keeping the final TO is worth that much time.
