After Timeout Sets for Your Next Huddle by Wes Kosel

This article features four after timeout sets used by various NCAA and International teams. Timeouts can be a great time to draw up a play or make an adjustment to your offense. These plays were used by the Butler Bulldogs, Latvia National Team, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Texas Longhorns. Especially in the college game (where there are media timeouts), coaches have numerous opportunities in a game to use after timeout sets. Some teams will be able to handle new plays easier than others. If you have a predominately young team, stick to simple variations from your offensive playbook. Teams with savvy senior leaders can get a little more creative in the huddle.
