I said the same thing. That’s how I was coached if under a second is left you aim for the rim to make a crazy bounce. The only issue is sometimes a foul can be called if you have people jumping for ball but it’s best to clear the lane.

Wnich is what I said, but what if there is a foul on the play after the rebound and pass down court. One would hope that the defense would stay away from a foul, but there is still a risk someone makes a mistake. A lot can go wrong, even in .6 seconds.

6 second left, we miss; how much time runs off clock before Tenn secures the ball and calls a TO? 

That's the key here.








No one practices this situation though.
At least get it up there on the rim. Tick tock.

Fwiw Wade's comment makes no sense. Ut can't call time until they possess.
He just covered for player.
Opposite of under bus.

Me and a couple friends were watching and that's what we were saying, miss the second on purpose and they have to make an 80+ foot shot to win. The commentators said the officials were setting the clock to 1.4 but they never did, I don't think they catch the rebound and heave a long shot in .6 seconds.

Missing the FT was the correct decision. They either have a full court shot or they call timeout and have .3 seconds which is impossible to get a shot off.

In that situation you should miss the FT 10/10. Even with a timeout they have to POSSESS the ball first to call it. Even if they get the fastest timeout in history, there would be maybe 0.2-0.3 left on the clock which is enough only for a tip shot I believe and nothing more. Not the grab and shoot like Grant Williams did after the made FT.

It was a wrong decision but ended up not mattering.

Now if there was like 1.6 seconds left, then yeah, make the FT if they have a TO still.

there is always an argument for leaving them on the other end and knowing a two point basket doesn’t beat you. You may not agree with it but this isn’t a situation where both opinions are not valid.

I’ll go w the guy that makes millions.

It’s funny you say 10/10 times and you aren’t even sure of the clock rules lol

Get a shite foul call and they’re shooting free throws to win the game.

Also, you get a guy trying to miss, and he doesn’t hit the rim, they’re now in the same situation had you made it, but they’re throwing it in from out of bounds with a chance to win.
