Carre to offer more than just laughing? I'm sure that it's directed at me but you offer no explanation.

Wrong...wrong...wrong... Here is why. Coaches are there for a reason. They survey the court and change team plans accordingly.

They survery the court and make plans accordingly, but they don't execute the plans: that's the players' job.

You just proved my point.

Cant the same thing be said if you are having trouble getting the ball in bounds? Why shouldnt coaches be allowed to call time outs? You said for someone to give a reason why it is right for them to be allowed to do it, what reasons do you have to show why it is wrong?

Because coaches role to the team is to teach the players what do to do- not to do it themselves.

Because a coach is on the sidelines, there's only FIVE players allowed on the court to have an impact on the play in the game.

If the coach calls the timeout does that not teach the players what to do in that same situation the next time?

No, it teaches them that the coach will bail them out again next time. It shows that they don't need to worry about calling timeout.
