And who says that you should be running inside offense all the time?


i think he's talking about the idea of adjusting the strategy in-game

I don't quite understand what he has in mind, actually. But the coach already does adjust tactics in-game slightly, to exploit the weaknesses of the opposition.

But I'd like an option to set coaches attitude to timeouts. There have been times, I've been begging, crying, screaming, throwing mouse to walls for a timeout, while watching my team lose a decent lead or being dipped, donked and dropped on until down by near 20 points down.

His attitude to timeouts could be as aggressive, normal and conservative.

Aggressive=Team doesn't score on 4 consecutive possessions and its a timeout, or enemy scores on 4 consecutive possession and its timeout.

Normal=Same as now. (maybe timeouts in final 2 minutes while leading by 3 or less to protect the lead)

Conservative=During first 46 minutes coach takes a timeout, if you get down by 20 points. The rest but 1 is saved for last 2 minutes to give you an edge AND they are used even if you lead by 6 points, last timeout is saved for last possession.

with the aggressive way, lot of coaches willl waste their timeout in first quarter, i like to see the normal time out rules, that the coaches don't spare all 6 timeout for the last quarter and sometimes take 5 of it in the last minute(wich is pretty boring ;)).

As a result of that rule it should be impleted that coaches takes time out with a higher probability short time before the to get lost.

i think we all know that we have our dis-satisfaction towards the time out how its being address in the games.

truth is how i wish we have a timeout botton we can press whenever we feel things get out of hand and waits for the next possible deadball to cal it

but i doubt that can happen.

That wont happen, nothing that involves live play will happen, since the games are completed in the 15 minute window before they are shown.

the coach already does that, he was objecting to the idea of giving US the ability to do so during the game
and i agree with him

I agree with that too. Not everyone has the time or the inclination to sit in front of the monitor for an hour and a half two or three times a day. Nor should they be required to.

How about this. Give the option to change tactics at every Q, only if both teams agree to be there by checking a box and submitting it before the game. This has to be set X amount of hours before the game. Maybe one or two.

If both teams agree that they want to participate in the game, the game engine doesn't calculate the game 15 min before the match, but calculates the outcome through quarters. After each Q, it takes up the new tactics and calculates the next quarter. You are just able to set the tactics you want to use.

If only one player clicks the box that he wants to coach the team, then the game will just calculate the game as if it were a normal game.

Not really sure if this is practical, but it sure would be fun to be able to do this. It makes the game more engaging and competitive. Especially if there would be a chatbox at every game. It would make this more interesting.

I am almost sure this is not fair on a number of levels. If nothing else, the games are supposed to be the same for everyone.

Plus, BB is not about you coaching basketball games -- it's about running a team. You're Danny Ainge, not Doc Rivers, to put it this way.
