And you’re happy with the plan?

If that sequence doesn’t end with the block landing in our players hands and tear dropping it to the lane…..the rant would want McMahons head on a plate.

The Fighting tigers pulled through last night but I was discouraged in that last sequence.


It was a close game for a long stretch. One or two possesion game. If you discuss in a previous timeout what to do on the last possession why do you need to call another timeout?

Look at what happened to UK. Coach Cal called his last timeout with 21 seconds left to draw up a play designed to get a quick shot off which allowed us to win the game instead of draining the clock. It goes both ways.

I liked McMahon’s idea of not letting Kentucky set its defense. Wright lost the ball as he was going up. McMahon could have called timeout, drawn up the play just like that and Wright still could have lost the ball. Sometimes, a plan comes down to execution and if the execution is flawed, it sometimes doesn’t matter how good the plan was.

Wright came up with his own plan on the fly. They won the game. Right now, that’s all that matters.

I think his trigger man just pulled too early and he trusted his defense. He was right as they had 3 men camping in the lane when all we did was dribble penetrate. We were fortunate the ball bounced our way and our guy made a heady pass.

This doesn’t go both ways here. Cal called a timeout and set up a play.

His defense was also prepared for our play.
