You know what boggles my mind the most about this? Just how few teams are able to average more than 1 point per possession in possessions after timeouts. Throughout the flow of games this year six Big 12 teams alone averaged 1.05+ points per possession.
To me this shows the advantage that defenses have after timeouts and makes you wonder why coaches use timeouts to "set up plays" as often as they do but especially with the "use it or lose it" time out at the end of the first half.

Somebody needs to go back through all of our losses, and find out how many TO's we had going into halftime and at the end of the game. Then email JP to tell him Fred is leaving points off the board. He's ripping off the University!
In fact, we may want to alert the NCAA. This smells of point shaving.

Wonder what McDormatt's stats would look like, especially the "Wait 4 seconds, then throw the ball down the length of the court and hope one of our guys gets to it first" play?
The entire adjusted-ATO top 10: 1) Iowa State, 2) Ohio State, 3) Kentucky, 4) Colorado State, 5) Rider, 6) Indiana, 7) Belmont, 8) Creighton, 9) Duke, 10) Wichita State. (Smart hire of Tim Miles from Colorado State, Nebraska. Dude can coach.)
You're on a roll today...
The comparison doesn't surprise me too much. How many times does a team like KU or Missouri or Baylor get a steal and runout layup? Heck of a lot easier to have offensive efficiency when the defense isn't setup. Obviously a coach will only call a timeout to setup a play when the defense is already set anywase.
Was thinking along a similar line. I wonder how the stats would look if you excluded fast break opportunities.
I'd be curious to know what McDermott's stats looked like at ISU as well. It seemed to me, even in Hoiberg's first year, that we were much better out of timeouts than we ever were with Greg.
