Of all the reasons to call a timeout, all those potential emergency brakes pulled in the name of rest or clarification or discussion, Becky Hammon has one that she particularly hates. This is not a kind of timeout she has needed very often in her three seasons coaching the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces. But it was one that she needed in the WNBA semifinals against the New York Liberty on Tuesday.
That would be a timeout called simply because she is so frustrated with her players that she has no other choice.
