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.

The best example I can think of is the way he handled the playoff game against New England. He let the clock wind down late in the fourth quarter despite the fact we needed to score TWICE...because "He didn't want Brady to have too much time on the clock." Master stroke.
