Johnny could have called a timeout at end and got clock set to .5

You see smart coaches do it all the time. They call timeout (Johnny keeps those handy) and ask the ref to review how much more time should be added to the clock on a booth replay after a basket is made at the very end of regulation. A smart coach should give his players every opportunity to succeed and not get caught up in all of the drama that is going on during the game. Scroll down that link and look at the loop of the last shot made by N.C. State. Even if you can't get the refs to put time back on the clock, don't you AT LEAST ask? They might have even put .7 and maybe we could try a catch and shoot. Who knows? Not Johnny nor you or I because he chose to do NOTHING. I really do think our coach gets complacent sometimes and this is just one more example. He needs to keep getting good talent until his COACHING abilities catch up with them, but until then we will have to rely on talent alone.

Wouldnt have made a difference. Accept that the team laid an egg in the second half and move on. We weren't going to make it far because tournament teams don't consistently have scoring droughts of 10 minutes or more

If anything calling a timeout there allows the refs to put the clock to at least .3 seconds where something is possible. At .1 nothing is really possible.

Man yall will find any way to put all the blame on the coaches.

Make free throws and this thread wouldn't even exist. Maybe he doesn't make them practice free throws enough or something but missed free throws lost this game in the end. You can't miss that many free throws and expect to win anything.

I was baffled that he didn't take a timeout at the end.
I mean, he never takes them. And he's a bad in-game coach. But damn. Someone on the bench has to take one, right?

Yeah, but was it enough time to get fouled and miss another free throw?
Posted on 3/21/15 at 2:31 pm to Mie2cents
Oh yeah that would have been great, especially considering the only thing this team sucks at more than free throws is inbound plays.

Ive seen plenty of coaches not call a TO in this situation because the opposing teams Defense can not setup if you don't call timeout. If you call timeout the defense can setup man to man. It was all hectic at the end of the game. If you don't like Jones that's fine but this is ridiculous.
