CM played not to win ..Too much subbing in breaking chemistry. Although I'm a fan of ANO but him coming back but playing that much hurt chemistry and CM went back to those earlier lineups..We played well but reverted back to not closing. Are we NIT BOUND now
 
You must have missed where DT and TJ had 4 fouls each. Had to play Zo and he gave us good minutes. 2 blocks, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and no turnovers in 11 minutes is a decent line.
 
We been in foul trouble all last month.. I am saying CM reverted back to old defense/offense philosophy.. kids didn't have no flies and confidence to close.. thus TD second guess scoring on a 2on 1 so he traveled. Before when it was just play mode for last six games he may have made a play...players reflect coach..you say second half CM had was scared
 
Yes the player made the turnover, but his mindset (indecision) was impacted by the "not to lose" strategy of the Coach.
 
coaches since i can remember, that is a long time and a lot of games. have always did the offense, defense sub pattern at the end of a game and is certainly not a try not to lose deal at all. in close games, the team that executes wins most of the time....
 
We puckered up at the end. Such a dissapointing season considering what could have been.

I hate that K0 won't be able to play in the ncaas in his career. The kid was a warrior and deserved to show it on the national stage.
 
Every basketball player that has plenty of space, the ball, and no worse than 2-1 from the foul line will attempt to score unless his Coach has told him to eat the clock.

The slow down strategy goes against a player's natural inclination. Those with less offensive skill and confidence are FAR more likely to have to "think about" executing the called for strategy versus playing naturally. The "thinking about" indecision is what caused that particular turnover.
