Why not intentionally miss the FT with 0.6 left on the clock?

clock starts on the rebound and they'd have to heave a full court shot to win it vs. williams not having a great look but had a chance to send to 2nd overtime on a catch and shoot from 18 feet away.
30

Yeah I’m not sure about the logic there.

It worked out but I agree.

coach's choice.

They would have taken timeout as soon as he rebounded and then you have to trust those refs to know how much time to take off the clock. I’d rather just get another point and not trust those idiots to know the rules

Wade said at first they were, but the Tennessee coach told the refs he wanted a timeout if they got the rebound or something like that.

Wade said he could tell barnes was going to call a timeout. But i tend to agree, tenn calls a timeout with what .4 secs left? And then they are in the same situation

Intentionally missing a free throw but still hitting the rim is easier said than done. Try to make it and if you miss it-cool, if you make it it takes a three to beat you.

They would’ve called a timeout immediately and likely no time would’ve come off the clock, then you’re only up 1 and if Williams makes it you lose.
With no timeouts I agree with internationally missing.
Also I love that Smart looked at the bench and asked if he should make it, then just ice cold drilled it. God I love him

This is what I figured wade would do. You intentionally miss it with a bank off the backboard and try to get rebound or just tip it at .6 secs. Game over. I dont care because we won. Woo hoo!

quote:that makes sense - i think they said .3 seconds makes it impossible to get a shot off so the question is could they control the rebound and call a timeout in .2 seconds. doesn't seems possible but whatevs. we won.

No they wouldn't. They wouldn't have enough time left to catch and shoot in this scenario.

The reason I think you don’t miss was validated by the attempt Tenn got. You don’t practice trying to miss often and if you don’t hit the rim the ball gets to be thrown out with no time going off clock. If that happened and they got the shot off that they did and make it, it’s the difference in OT2 and a loss.

Yeah if we're honest, Williams should've made that last shot. You aren't getting a better look at it than what he got.
But the clock started when he caught the ball. If we missed the second shot, the clock starts at the rebound and they have to just shoot from there.

Coach Wade played it safe. It was the rational thing to do.
Sometimes overthinking and getting cute can cause more problems than playing the odds.

I don’t disagree with your overall point, but hitting the rim intentionally is exceptionally easy for the basic athlete. Please don’t make the most basic acts out to be difficult.

LSU definitely didn’t want to attempt to get a rebound off of a miss in that situation. You don’t want to give the refs an opportunity to call a foul in that situation.

The clock must start as soon as a player touches the rebound after the missed free throw. There is no allowance in the rule for calling an immediate timeout without any time running. I think the game is over if a player rebounds the ball and calls a timeout. I get that you must trust the refs in that situation, but to me it's better than the quality (and thankfully missed) shot you faced here.
