With Tennessee basketball’s 92-70 victory Tuesday over the South Carolina Gamecocks, the No. 1 ranked Vols tied a school record for 15 straight wins. But in the post game, Rick Barnes talked about a rule that kept him from being able to call timeout when he wanted to to get Lamonte Turner out of the game.
Turner, at the time, had three fouls. But coaches can’t call timeouts on live ball plays, which is a rule change that went into effect to start the 2015 season. Barnes called it a “really tough rule” and used Tuesday as an example.
