Very Interesting Stat...

[NersEllenson]

Seen it complained about here about our "plays" out of timeouts.  Though we aren't at the top of this list...we do a better job than some teams coached by Hall of Famer's (namely Calhoun and Roy Williams):

Efficiency in after-timeout situations is of heightened importance (or at the very least, under higher scrutiny) in the NCAA tournament, and Texas' inability to even inbound the ball at a critical moment helped the Wildcats reach the Sweet 16. If Arizona has one distinct advantage over everyone else left in the bracket — other than having Derrick Williams, that is — it's that coach Sean Miller has been excellent in setting up scoring plays out of timeouts, averaging 1.001 points per possession. According to Synergy Sports Technology, this is how the Sweet 16 teams ranked on the season in after-timeout efficiency:
