Scotch Plains-Fanwood head coach Steven Siracusa called timeout after Rahway had just scored six straight points to cut a deficit that was as high as 17 points earlier in the second half to just seven with 4:26 remaining in the game.
At that point a nosy observer leaned in toward the Scotch Plains bench to hear what wisdom Siracusa might impart in order to shift his club back into the smooth gear it had been operating on for most of the contest.
