Believe me, when head coaches in American football are talking to players during a timeout, it is not just one-way. They are in fact often collectively discussing their options. They have to, because again the game is so complex that they need to bounce ideas off one another.
Soccer is too foreign to Americans because they simply want to win, rather than enjoying the talent of the movements in this game. To me basketball without the 7 foot players and without the time out is similar to soccer. It is an art of movements and passes. However, America corrupted that game too by seeking giants for players, it made it that I cannot relate to these movements anymore. What do you guys think when you see the strongest men lifting cars, and the like, I say, that is not me!
