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"

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

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

KW used up his TO before the two minute

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.

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.
