Timeout
A simple trip to the grocery store for Mike Martz and his family turned into complete chaos on Tuesday when the Rams head coach ran out of timeouts. Known for his poor in-game decisions, Martz’s early use of timeouts allowed Chris, David, Tim, and Emily Martz to run wild in the Schnuck’s on Walnut Avenue. The coach wasted his first timeout when David and Tim got into a shoving match while putting on their shoes before departing. “I had to call a timeout just to calm the kids down and get them to the car,” said Martz. The family was less than two minutes away from Schnuck’s when Martz burned his second timeout. Emily was issued a timeout for excessive hair pulling after David’s knee crept into her area of the back seat. The third stoppage, however, has been criticized the most. Martz needlessly challenged his wife Julie’s choice of parking spots, saying it was too far away from the door. The call was upheld, costing Martz his third and final timeout and leaving him with no way of controlling his kids once they got inside the store. Martz’s wife, Julie, said this is not the first time something like this has happened. Aside from his blatant disregard for the timeout process, she described his horrendous clock management skills and his questionable decision-making. “Timmy was two hours early for soccer practice on Monday, Emily was an hour late to swimming, and Mike woke up Chris at four a.m. on Tuesday for no reason,” Julie explained. “And don’t get me started on his last-minute decision to take the kids to ‘Closer’ instead of ‘Fat Albert.’ He completely blew that call.”
