Shouldn't Marvin have used his timeouts...

B- Say you've burned all your time outs as the other team's offense goes for the field goal. You get it back with less than half a minute to go. Your options are: throw it as far as you can and hope it doesn't result in a TO or throw it as far as you can and hope it doesn't result in a TO.


Most coaches would do what Marv did. Hang onto the lead and any advantages you've got (time outs) and let the other guy play catch up. Use the timeouts if you have to catch up, otherwise let the clock work against your opponent.

It would have been more than a half of a minute. The game was tied. You go and try to win the game with the time you saved by using your timeouts... 

Are you seriously trying to justify not trying to win the game because you're afraid of a turnover? You and Marv would get along great.
