[QUOTE="PostersLastStand, post: 1441383, member: 581644"] Coach Underwood is responsible for "drawing up the play", one of the assistant Coaches is assigned the duty of reminding every player multiple times the time left on the shot clock. Especially making sure the primary ball handlers watch the shot clock. I listened to the post game on radio. It was mentioned by both Illinois radio commentators that Coach Underwood practices these plays over and over. It comes down to player execution. Each time the game is on the line, the players are tight and consequently fumble the ball, then panic. The end result, a loss. It was also mentioned that Kipper was supposed to break back door for a game tying two, maybe also drawing a foul. The other option was to set a screen for Ayo a three. But we know that no Illini fought for the long rebound before the second chance made three, the play before the shot clock violation. Just keep backing up, watch each empty pocession or missed defensive assignment that lead to scores. It all adds up to a loss. The Coach is frustrated, the Players are frustrated and we fans are frustrated. [/QUOTE]
