In a tie game? you have no idea what you are talking about? You never want to give free points in a 30 second game when its tied

I actually agree. The high school coach where I coach at never allows the other team to have the last shot. They foul make them shoot free throws and always get last shot. You'd be surprised at how many times they've won with this strategy.

really? give up free points just so you get a chance on offense.

This might be the dumbest thing I ever heard on covers. IT's like saying just let the guy return the kickoff for a TD so you have a chance to score

No you don't. Iowa St lives by the 3 pointer. As hot as they were behind the 3 point line today, I'd take that chance with my guys winning the game shooting as opposed to the the opposing team getting that opportunity.

why not? they had posession with no shot clock left..

.you just give them chance to win the game??? if it were my  team I would want the ball at the end with the option to tie or win it...and have confidence in my guys...

well obviously it didnt work out for ISU who knows if they did foul and hit a 3 at end why would that be stupid...you dont know what your talking about..

exactly TOP Dog...ISU is a 3 pt team...why give OSU the chance to win it...i would want that oppportunity to win it..what if ISU fouled and eithe OSU missed a free throw and ISU scored a 2 to win it or OSU made both and ISU hit a 3 to win the game or even a 2 to tie it..after that would you say that would have been a dumb call..cause it obviously didnt work out for ISU not fouling

I feel ya bro. You have to understand that people don't like going against the norm. They are afraid to do something different.

I've seen the high school where I coach at, win many games by hitting shots at the end of games after they fouled. A lot of times the other team has choked and missed their free throws and the basketball team actually shot a 2 to win the game.

It is a very risky strategy but if you believe in your guys, I see nothing wrong with it honestly.

yseallee...obviously craft was waiting till last second to shoot so either for ISU it was OT or lose the game...why not change your odds of winning and have the ball in your court to either win the game or at least tie it...I think there playing to win the game and having possession at the end gives them that best shot...

thanks topHog....just playing...in a tie game you let your defense try in make the stop and if they don't they better hope there's enough time on clock to get a shot off
