Calling a timeout between 2:01-2:07 in the 2nd or 4th quarter does not make sense, since it give the other team a chance to pass the ball and not worry about the clock haven't to stop on an incomplete pass.
Its called having faith in both your defense AND offense. Its genius IMO.
Stopping the clock at 2:05 can save you many valuable seconds. Yes, it does give the opposition's offense a SLIGHT advantage for ONE PLAY as far as flexibility in playcalling. But calling that timeout is called playing for the win. You have faith in your defense to stop them. And you have faith that your offense is good enough to score with limited time and timeouts.
I'd much rather a coach who went for it, than one who plays it safe.
