re: Another Look at the Game Winning Shot (In Pictures)

quote:

Coach Jones likes to leave 0% chance to lose the game in those situations. A charge sends Arkansas to the line and a made layup leaves a second or two on the clock. He plays the last play of the half the same way. He would settle for a 5% shot if he had to make sure the other team can't answer.

So you think CJJ doesn't want us to make a layup that gives us the lead if it's going to leave 1 or 2 seconds on the clock??????? Stratospheric idiocy.

You say CJJ would settle for a 5% shot to make sure we can't lose? A 5% shot is basically a half court shot - so you think JJ would prefer us taking a half-court shot with 1 second left??? Are you brain-dead??

Nearly all coaches in that situation would tell their team to put up the shot with 3-4 seconds left to give us a chance at the quick put back. If Arky rebounds, they only have a couple seconds left and are 94 feet away.

And nearly all coaches want their player to go toward the rim in that situation. Either finish, draw a foul, or dish. Put the pressure on the defense.

Saying JJ is scared of losing the game, when we HAVE THE DAMN BALL ON THE LAST POSSESSION, is just nonsense.
