[QUOTE="WyattEarp, post: 2029446, member: 748573"] I didnt feel that way last night. I have been critical recently on this topic. But last night was DEFINITELY not Penn State for example…which was a complete implosion and total amateur hour…(also there were others.) We seemed more cohesive and organized…For example with a little more than .40 sec left they wasted no time trying to trap. (With no indecision.) That’s what a lot of coaches would do there…but not all. It’s a coaching philosophy thing…some might have fouled immediatly to extend…I don’t think you want it to look intentional there personally.( What we tried darn near worked. But then pretty soon after if that doesn’t work you’ve got to be fouling of course. Anyways, I was okay with what we tried. It was a pretty sound philosophy…and my main point is…it went down as if the staff’s expectations had been clearly defined/ communicated to the players. I dunno if it was. But that is how it seemed. We just needed a little more luck…and someone to step up that isn’t named Domask to be a cutthroat, cold-blooded icy-veined killer for the last 2:30. [/QUOTE]
