Zomby, time outs are used for all sorts of reasons, but mainly they are used to stop the clock so you can go over to the sideline and talk to the coach about plays. If they can't get the play off in time, they'll call a timeout so they don't get a penalty, if it's the end of the game and they are trying to rush down the field for one last score, they call a time out to stop the clock so they can get set up for the next play and not waste game time. If they don't have time to get the field goal unit out on the field, they'll call a time out to stop the clock. If the coach doesn't like what he sees, he'll call a time out. So LOTS of reasons it is used, these are just some that came to mind. Managing the game clock is a very important part of this game. I hope that helps. Do you watch American football?
