Coaching question

Post by Elkaggie » January 20th, 2022, 9:29 pm

This is the second straight game where we could have had the last shot of the game and for whatever reason we don’t use the shot clock to our advantage. Akot hits a 3 to tie it with 51 seconds to go. We need to get a shot up with about 40 seconds to go to make sure we get the last shot. Is this no how it’s supposed to work?? It would have insured that we get the last look no matter what. It’s a real head scratcher to me.

Also, do our coaches know how to draw up a play out of timeout??

Serious questions.

I wondered the same thing on the 2-1 for opportunity.

Great observation and valid questioning of strategy

After Akot’s three we had 42.5 seconds on the clock. Really hard to get a two for one shot situation.

I am pretty sure we did the same thing against WYOMING. Lose both games basically on last second shot. We should be doing the same thing to end the half but we don’t. It’s an easy way to get an extra shot in. So strange.

I have struggled with the lack of coaching moves from Odom. I must be missing something.

There was 51 seconds when he hit the shot. We called a timeout with 42. Either way you have to go 2 for 1.

I was screaming 2 for 1, just bad coaching. The shot is a lot harder when you miss and the consequence is more than simply overtime. You miss and the Aggies get the final look, it puts more pressure on the Boise shot.

This 100%. There was plenty of time to do this.

Not enough time when you pass the ball around the circle for 28 seconds before you jack up a desperation shot.

And why are we not fouling Armus. Dude shouldn’t have been able to get a shot off. Put him on the line all night long. Put in Zapala to use his 5 fouls.

What's the point, we would have just taken a bad shot with seven seconds left and given them the final shot anyway.
