When you are at the games, everyone drinks some water and stretches the coaches pull a few players to talk about strategy.
Becuase Half's are 45+ of continuous full sprinting in the hot sun with no timeouts the players like those breaks.
That said, it is also a clock burning strat, and that is annoying as hell, unless you're the ones doing it.

"continuous full sprinting" you know we have all seen roundball right?
Let's not pretend that there isn't big chunks or time that some players stand around.
If hydration is such an issue, do what rugby does. They do a water break at the first stoppage after 20mins when it is over 30C.
