For all those who complain about fouling at the end

[79Warrior]

of the game, ask Jay Wright how he feels after losing by giving up a three plus one with .08 left on the clock.

Which was addressed in about thirty other threads.  Thanks for starting a new one though.

79 warrior, do you see any difference in the two situations?

If you think fouling a guy 80 feet from the basket, up 3, with 1 second left is the right thing to do then I'm sorry....you're an idiot. What's a higher probability, tipping in a missed free throw against our bigs or hitting an 80 foot shot off a rebound? I was at a loss for words after that happened.....

Did it work? that's what matters. Just another thing people rip Buzz on for, what a joke.

Making the first pressured free throw, missing the second free-throw, missing it in such a manor that it goes over our guys, their guys caressing the miss and putting it back in within a second.

I haven't seen a player all year tip in a free throw against us. I've seen a player caress a miss 10 feet from the basket. I've seen a player shove our bigs out of the way and have it hit our guy and go out of bounds after juggling the ball.


It's not as black as white as you try to paint it.

"I haven't seen a player all year tip in a free throw against us."

I don't know if that has happened or not, but how many times were they intentionally trying to miss?  As such, you have no idea how it's coming off the rim.  Also, it wouldn't have to be a tip.  Clock doesn't start until someone touches it.  You're in an opponents gym - who knows who's running the clock.  I know we've given up plenty of rebounds off of opponents missed free throws.  Doesn't take much to rebound and put one up.  There was 0.4 seconds left in the Depaul-UC game the other night, and the guy caught the ball and launched a 3 that was half way down and rimmed out and would have counted.

Again, just ask yourself what is a higher probability? Grabbing a rebound 90 feet from basket, turning, taking  a dribble and making a 80 foot shot OR making a "pressured" free throw (which he did), and then purposely missing the second and having enough time to catch the rebound and shoot it back at the basket within 5 feet. Honestly, I can't see how anyone thinks that was the right call.

Get over it. We won the game. If constant whining for four straight days hasn't convinced people, one more post repeating the monotony isn't going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Just be glad it's one in the win column and let it go.
