The "TIMEOUT" during league play....

[DelaWho???]

I like this approach. I'm an APA SL3 so getting the time outs called on me allot. (League tonight! Cant Wait!)
They have really begun to bother me. It's my best friend calling them so not getting mad by any streach.
Sometimes I think i need to be able to play MY game, not a SL6's game and may be actually blaming some of my losses on them.

The "lets talk about this" or "what are you seeing" approach goes over better than the "this is what you've got to do"


I think the time outs are cool. They are certainly abused from a time standpoint. (guilty) I'd like to be the one that calls my own the majority of the time, but it boils down to your teams confidence in your game. The better you get, the less and less they'll be calling time out.

It's your game. The coach is there to assist you to win the rack, not play the rack for you. Have a talk with him and let him know what your expectations are. If you had a plan when the time out is called on you, start the conversation by telling the coach what your plan was. If it's a good plan he should be able to help you accomplish it. If it isn't he should be able to offer you a better alternative which is within your capability.
