re: Not calling a timeout to set up a play?

All season long, our offensive strategy has been to put the ball in Wright and Baker's hands. Sometimes it works, often times it doesn't. Our last two games in the final moments, our play was to let Wright dribble time off the clock while he tries to find a driving lane. If he is fouled it probably works because he is a good free throw shooter. But he can also get stripped as he drives to weave through their whole team or the shot misses or gets blocked.
I say he drives against their whole team because they have watched film and know that Wright is unlikely to pass off of a drive. He puts his head down and bulls his way to the basket. Not to knock the kid but you have to face the reality of the stats. Wright is shooting under 40 percent for the year. I think McMahon should have called timeout and planned a better chance for us. Yes it would have given Kentucky a chance to set up their defense also but I still think it gives us our best chance. Look at that play over and over. It truly was a miracle finish and we were oh so lucky to get that put back. Ward made a great play but it was just luck that he even got the chance to put that ball back in.
But hey, basketball is a screwy game. Great Win!
