I've heard a lot of people saying this.  I don't think there is a single coach who  calls a timeout in that situation. What would be the point of calling a time out?  To draw up a play, right.  What is the point of making plays?   The point of any play is to get the ball to your best player (or a player with a miss-match) in space.  But of course, when you call a time out its not just Syracuse getting the time out.  UNC also gets to draw up a plan to prevent us from getting the ball to our best player in space.

In this case, Gbinije already had the ball in space.  If Boeheim had called a time out it would have been to maybe accomplish what had already been accomplished in the natural flow of the game. It would have been a terrible time out.

Personally I wish Gbinije had shot a 3, but you  have to trust your 5th year senior leader in that situation.  He saw and opening and tried to exploit it.  He missed.  Few shots go in at the end of games.  Its always better to have the lead.  UNC had about a 70% chance of winning that game no matter what decisions were made by either Boeheim or Gbinije.
