Once gafford fouled out

Had a lead 1 point lead, with a full shot clock, the ball, 2 timeouts, 3 Arkansas players fouled out. I would have taken that scenario 99 times out of 100. Horrendous last 30 seconds of basketball in every way imaginable.

Exactly. Once we were down, we had 3 shots! 3 chances to win the game. Not one timeout called, to you know maybe draw up a play or something? Stupid 3 on the last sequence, Javonte rushes his shot and should have gone in to draw a foul, even Naz could have set his feet on the last shot. It was sporadic and I’m not sure why Wade didn’t call a timeout. Repeatedly could have done this. He saw how out of sorts we looked.

That's Wade's mo. Some coaches call a lot of timeouts. Wade let's it play oit on the court most of the time. Remember when you call a time to you know draw up a play, the other coach is you know doing the same thing

TO would’ve been an easy way to convey that obvious point.

Feel like Wade always lets them play in such a situation rather than calling a timeout. With such a young team I wonder why

The offense should have run through Naz. We had their 3rd string forward in the game. Should have pounded it into Naz, or attacked the goal. We had the advantage

And we did the last set and Naz got right to the goal, I'm sure he'll tell you he should have scored there.

This was the point I was making in one of those "we needed a loss" threads. Though not necessarily that the offense should have run through Naz, specifically. I just thought it was obvious that they should have been attacking the rim after Gafford fouled out.

Instead they take a quick three, and then try an alley oop. I don't know what the players were thinking, and I have no idea why Will Wade didn't call a timeout to make sure the team understood what the plan of attack should be from that point forward. Disappointing.

I'm not in the "we needed this" crowd, but I do hope they learned something from this.

I said this yesterday , Reid has a long way to go ! He cant make a shot under the basket! 6ft.10 really ?

That's always been my opinion, I think you give the defense a chance to situationally sub, match up and strategize when you call the TO as an offense there.

I heard Dan Dockich speak to this one time, one of the coaches of another team was teasing him about all the timeouts basketball coaches take. "Don't you guys practice".

Hell man you get 4 t.v. timouts a half.

I'm sure we practice end of game situations all the time as do all teams. Tre thought he saw something and made a bad decision, and a bad pass. The last set we had to very good looks and missed them. I think not calling a timeout was the least of the issues.
