Even the guys on the broadcast were asking "when does Kalani start using his timeouts to make sure he has enough time to respond if they score?"

When the announcers are asking the question - the coaches better be thinking about it too.

I give him crap about it (still isn’t great & we often suck coming out of a timeout-ie Ropati pick) but he has improved

While I agree it was smart, any good HC would have done that.

My whole section knew that. Everyone was screaming "Timeout"

Yeah. “Brilliant” seems a bit dramatic. It was the obvious right move.

Crap I said it when they got down to first and goal. That is coaching 101.

Having a TO to call was an improvement from the first half. And having one in

Not to take away from Kalani but wasn’t that a no brainer?

Yes. But it was a surprise he had them and I'm glad he did.

If he's going to get publicly flamed for the bad decisions seems only fair to get praise for the good ones.

No. Criticize the bad ones. Acknowledge the normal ones (I.e. this) and praise

I don't like Sitake, but where credit is due, it should be given.

The ESPN guys were talking about how you have to start using timeouts there.

Speaking of TOs, I don't think Gundy actually signaled TO before

They did.. I was sitting in the east stands and they were doing it with 3 second

I agree, but 1st half TOs a not nearly as important as 2nd half TOs.

I wondered at the time if we should let them score on purpose.

Even more brilliant was the decision to kick the extra point to go up 3.
