In this game: (22586819), in the 1st quarter, after 4th minutes and 44 seconds FC Unic was leading with 11-7, but their coach requested a full timeout.

In the 3rd quarter, with 5 minutes and 18 seconds left to play, FC Unic was leading with 58-53 (and 18-9 in the 3rd quarter) and again, their coach requested a full timeout.

Until the end of the game, FC Unic got all their 6 timeouts and CyberAngels neither of them. CyberAngels were behind almost the entire game and in those moments described above maybe the timeout should be requested by them.

Due to all this, I think it was a bug in this game when the engine decided which team requests a timeout.

This might help (104263.17). I sincerely don't think it was a bug.

Thanks for the link.
Only this: Rest tired players while keeping them in the game can be an explanation for their timeouts. What concerns me is the 6-0 rate of used timeouts in a tie game, decided in the last quarter. Maybe my coach was overconfident :-)

Or maybe he didn't need to call any time outs because the other team kept calling timeouts and so he used that time to do what is needed.

Yeah, the other coach worked for me, too :-)

Anyway, only a BB, if has the time to check the game, can confirm or not if was a bug. Until then, we can only interpret/analyze the messages from the game.

I spoke with the owner of FC Unic and he told me that his 2 best players have an "atrocious" Stamina, so his coach called a timeout to rest this players. With this new information, I don't think if was a bug (and my coach also used those timeouts for advices, as Naker Virus said). The AI for coach decisions worked as expected.
