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

Because if you miss the rim no time comes off the clock and a long pass/quick tip close to the basket wins the game instead of going to a second overtime.
And it has to hit the rim, not the back board.

Precisely.

No one is saying that hitting the rim isn’t easy. Hitting the rim with no intention to make it is, as I said, easier said than done. In an attempt to hit the rim and not make the basket players have been known to miss the rim completely. Play that scenario out in your mind and let me know how you think tiger rant responds.

It was crazy not missing that free throw. For those saying they would have called timeout right when they got it. You can’t call timeout until you are on the floor so unless Tennessee didn’t jump for the rebound they couldn’t call timeout for a split second until they landed. Then the clock doesn’t stop until it’s granted. There’s simply no universe where Tennessee catches the rebound, calls timeout, and has more than .3 seconds left. I’m being generous there. In actuality it would have ended the game if they tried to call a timeout. They really only had time for a heave off the rebound if LSU misses.
Tennessee got way too good of a look in that situation.

On the radio broadcast, John Brady said “I’d have him miss this attempt” after Smart hit the first one.

Wouldn’t they get to throw it in from half court if they call time out?

Well, Will Wade is the LSU Coach and Brady is calling games from the sideline...
I trust Wade's instincts here.

There is so much going on in the game that Wade might not of thought of that or he figured so little time was left that they were going to have to rush a shot off anyway. As someone who has coached a lot, it's easy to make decisions when you're in the stands versus on the bench with a thousand things going on around you! It was a great win for the Tiger program!

What if we had intentionally missed and then fouled a Tenn player on the heave? Then we’re up 1 and they have 2 FTs to win it. Wade absolutely made the right call there.

Some of yall need to learn the game. Brady is right you miss that 2nd FT every freakin time.
0.6 probably becomes 0.4 when they rebound and call timeout. Plus they cant run the baseline to inbound the ball after the timeout. Plus 0.4 is almost a tip in shot doubt very much they have enough time to catch and shoot with 0.4. Stupid decision to make the 2nd FT.

No one questions Wade as a coach, overall. But, even the best aren’t perfect.

Somewhat agree! It's not that difficult to slam the ball off the backboard and rim w enough force to cause a long rebound. Maybe next opportunity we do this. Six one and half-dozen another IMHO. If you make the FT it forces other team to make a 3 pointer to beat you. We got away with it this game. Let's move on.....

Even if there is only 0.4 we could have still gotten called for a bullshite foul on the heave. I’m glad Wade didn’t leave it in the ref’s hands

That is what I was saying at the time. The clock would have run out and they would never have even gotten that last shot off. Fortunately it didn't matter.

You can make an argument for making the free throw, but potentially fouling on the rebound or the heave isn’t part of it. You wouldn’t put anyone under in order to avoid that.
