re: Coach puts the backups in with 2 seconds left in the game

They will have official documentation of playing for LSU if they never hit the court as walk on's.
It is a big deal
All of those players have played in multiple games, so last night didn't matter.
It was a gesture by the coach to let the fans recognize the starters and it allowed the bench players to get on the court in a national TV game. Very simple.

Is that supposed to make them feel good?

Seems sort of insulting to me

Congrats to the LSU team

It is to allow the starters to get plaudits fjor there efforts as they leave the court. It has nothing to do with the reserves. It is a pretty common things.

Hell when I was a back up I was happy just to get my hands on the ball if even for 2 seconds

So it’s about getting recognition to the starters with an ovation, not doing it for the backups.
Kirby Smart did it with players in the championship game.

This board has gone insane. It’s fricking women’s basketball. There are usually two good teams a year, maybe four. Who gives a frick? It’s good for the university in general but the picking apart and obsession is so strange.

Watching Kim I’m convinced she was gonna run out the clock with the ones on the floor.
But then they fouled again very late and if I remember right some our players ended up in the floor.
And Kim was visibly annoyed. She kinda quickly and abruptly then signaled all the backups in.
It felt like she did it for more than just the ovation.

This is exactly how I took it as well. It was more in response to what Tenn was doing by dragging out the game needlessly.

Was going to say I'm pretty sure Mulkey only did that because Tennessee fouled with 3.5 seconds to go down 6. The game was over and they fouled anyways. So might as well rub things in.
This. Everybody ragging the OP but lets not act like KM called a time out to do this.

Walk-ons are just happy to see their names appear in the official box score or participation report. In basketball they’re usually glorified student managers.

Go tell Kim that

Mulkey can do whatever she wants.

Did you not get a trophy as a kid?

It served 3 purposes. First, it gave the starters a chance to get cheered by the crowd. Second, it gave the backups a little "atta girl" for their hard work. And third, it flashed the figurative finger at the Tennessee coach who was still having her players foul with 6 seconds left and an 8 point deficit.

It was actually 3 seconds but I have no problem with that

Did you not notice the excitement of the players coming on the court?
4 of them hadn’t played and they all had huge smiles on their face while
greeting their teammates coming out of the game to a huge ovation
