So if you don’t have a clue, do what Auburn guard T.J. Dunans did – join the huddle. 

With 1:39 left in Thursday night's SEC conference opener between the Tigers and Georgia, a timeout was called. As Bulldogs coach Mark Fox discussed strategy with his players, Dunans decided to join in, DawgNation reported.

Georgia sophomore Derek Ogbeide even stretches his arm out and puts in around Dunans’ waist, pulling him into the huddle. It took a few seconds before a Georgia assistant alerted the referee, asking him to remove Dunans from the huddle.

It didn’t make a difference, as Georgia won 96-84. But it sure was a funny moment, and Dunans scored six points during his 27 minutes on the court.
