The time on clock starts after u touch it so there is no deep heave like Leattner

If heyward made that shot Zoubek would have been a major scapegoat, deservedly.

Takes time off the clock right when they touch the ball and they most likely cant get as good of a shot.

so the clock would start immediately when it was touched instead of making it, stopping the clock, and maybe let them set something up.

SC says he missed on purpose and they are wondering why he did that. Make the free throw Digger Phelps says

Yeah, I thought that was questionable as well. I guess the thinking is Butler doesn't have time to get set up, but then again, Duke isn't able to set up their D either. I guarantee Butler got off a better shot than they would have if they had to take it out. It's usually a long pass that gets intercepted or knocked away.

yea but you just gave them a chance to win the game. you make the foul shot and than foul as soon as the ball is inbounded in.

Yeah I don't get this either, don't risk it. I mean if he makes it, they still have to inbound and dribble to get shot off or throw long pass and then even if they make it its only OT. I don't get it. If that final shot would have went in, holy shite.

I don't like it.

yeah, you give them a chance to get the long inbound pass, but at worst, they can only tie.

Why put your team in a position to lose? Thats why I don't agree with it. And I wish he would have made it and they would have called a offensive foul on that douche Howard for an illegal screen.

shite, just rewatched and he DEFINITELY missed on purpose.

I can't see ANY Good reason.

You gotta take the 3 point lead, I don't care if they get to in bound the ball after.

Definitely on purpose. Watch his follow through. He fired a line drive right at the front of the rim.

They did it so they didn't get Evan Turnered.
