It might just be after a 15 - 30 seconds of rest the without the coach talking got them players are focused on getting ready to get back out on the court, and it appears they are not listening.
i commented on that on bobcatnation. that is exactly what happened. hasquet and martin weren't even in the huddle, and martin wasn't even facing the huddle! seems like tinks is having a hard time getting anything out of these guys, and unfortunately, that is ultimately his fault. as for the coaches meeting before addressing the players, you will see this done with almost all college programs. coaches use the first half of full time-outs to strategize, and the other half to show the players what they want. considering that all coaches ignore the ref when he says it's time to play, and they sneak an extra 20 seconds anyway, it's no big deal. rarely will you see a coach do this on 20 second timeouts.
