Yep - well if Boeheim had a TO left - he sure would have used it. So why give him what HE needed, when you didn’t have to? In this situation, I think having the opportunity to set up an offensive play is more important than setting up the defense. I’m a HS basketball coach, and I thought it was dumb of Dixon at the time. I sure would have taken my chances letting them try to go the length of the court with 4.4 seconds to go and NOT getting a chance to talk it over first.
P.S. I like your tagline - would love to hear someone do an update on that old Neil Young song:
Terrorists here and Obama’s not coming. We’re totally on our own. Soldiers are gunning us down. Should have been done long ago. How can you run when you know? What if you knew him and found him dead on the ground? Four dead in Benghazi.
Hello Well I barely know an X from an O so I thought the pros and cons was interesting. Still, Pitt had him take a 30 footer so the odds were still in their favor, Ennis just make a great play.
Second great Syracuse game I’ve see, the Duke one was classic.
PS I actually stole the Tagline from a post here several weeks ago :)
