Sorry buddy.....agree to disagree on this one. Not near enough time....it's difficult enough to get decent pass in and a dribble/shoot going 90+ feet. I'm not saying it hasn't ever happened.....but you play the percentages and just let the game end. And BTW, they inbounded it in the back court after the FT and were already dribbling when play was stopped.
lol… been an OU BBALL fan since Tisdsle days… and ya I can still criticize decision porter makes. Bball isn’t rocket science… he’s not above that.
Cole was running back off the court. He was there!
That’s bizarre.
I think most people agree on this. A few vocal posters wouldn’t criticize Moser if he sent 13 players plus a couple coaches onto the court.
Cant discuss the game without some one whining. Only sunshine and rainbows on this board.
yikes...did Porter tell him to go back to bench?
As I said, bball isn’t rocket science. He’s not above criticism… dude makes a chit ton of money to coach a game.
lol dang, he put him out there? Jeeze…
That seems highly unlikely. I've been watching basketball since the early 1970s, and what you described I have never seen. Throwing the ball downcourt is a risk in and of itself since there is a strong probability the defense will at least tip the ball. Providence was trying to get a halfcourt shot in hopes of getting a foul call while the ball goes in. There just isn't much you can do in 3.7 seconds when you have to inbound from your own basket.
I think you’re seeing what you want to, man. In any event, would it not made sense for us to sub Cole in after the FIRST free throw make if we wanted defensive length on the floor? As in, when there was a possibility for a miss on the second free throw and we wanted length to disrupt the shot?
Exactly this. Get him to the table and sub him between the two shots. If he misses, you have your good defender on the floor for whenever you want to remove. If he makes, you can tell all five players to go stand by the cheerleaders. There was only one way for that game to possibly be lost, and it was with a blunder of that magnitude.
Subbing in for elvis I would assume.
Not until he’s waived in!
Possibly, but still, get him to the table before he even shoots the first shot and simply tell the table he is subbing for the shooter. But again, once he made the first, there was no reason to sub for Elvis on another make. Without exaggeration, you could truly take any five of us from this board, stick us on the court with a two-possession lead, three seconds left, and the opponent having to go the length of the floor, and we wouldn’t have any chance of losing unless we decided to tackle someone.
Okay this made me laugh.
You are correct. But if you've read this board much you know some posters do nothing but whine and complain.
