re: Everyone- Stop being so critical of Coach Jones

Calipari specifically said that he did that because he was trying to teach them a lesson after getting a stupid technical and to play through it.

Cal does it a lot. So does Phil Jackson and Pitino. There are different schools of thought on this. Coaches that like pace will sometimes keep gunning because they get better shots that way. Not all teams get their best shots by running a set piece. I remember on one particular play when I thought Jones would take a time out, Gray made the keep rolling motion while walking it into the front court, then he hit a full spring and hit Martin on an alley oop. That was better than any set piece Jones has in his arsenal.
