Deferring at halftime: I watch CP idiots complain about that and quite frankly it's the better option by far. Belichick does it all the time. If executed properly it allows you to create a 14 point swing before the opposing team even has a chance to respond.
His clock management is waaaay overblown. I can see what he's attempting to do at the end of halves most of the time. But everything has to go according to plan, otherwise you're left with too little time. There's been very few instances in which i thought he didn't do a good job with the clock.

How many times have we seen a predictable pattern of us playing prevent to hold a lead, and us abandoning a successful passing game for conservative "hold the clock" dink and dunk for the same reason. We've lost two playoff games where we dominated the first half. We saw it last year in Atlanta. We saw it both games this season. He's had less puzzling clock management in kc so far, but he still falls back to this pattern that turns dominant performances into unnecessary nailbiters.
