Mack did the same thing after Stainbrook made 2 FT's with about 8:20 to go in second half.  Believe these t/o's are more about setting up defense.  Sometimes celebrate after a significant make and give up an easy transition hoop because the defense breaks down.  The t/o allows a coach to focus the team on defense.

sju's offense is much better when they push the ball up the court quickly, even after made baskets.  That fact weighs against calling timeouts after makes by the other team.  The defense may be better when they have time to set up, though this is probably less true when they aren't pressing anyway (on the other hand, the other team has time to set up a play).  Momentum should also enter into the equation.

You can't push the ball after a make.   I mean, you can, but it's not the same.
You push on a defensive stop, especially on a turnover or long rebound.

We often push after a make.  Sometimes we even do it successfully :P  But we do try to.
