During the Wolf Pack’s win over New Mexico on Saturday, the team’s leading scorer, Caleb Martin, one of the best conditioned players on the team, turned to coach Eric Musselman with an urgent message.

“Will you please call a timeout!” Martin yelled to his coach.

“If you ask nicely maybe I would,” Musselman said in return.

With the timeout called, Musselman found out why Martin requested the stoppage.
