While this was pretty much what I predicted (I had it 77-60 SC), it could have gone the other way even with SC dominating offensive rebounds, had not four things happened: the lack of focus that led to two straight turnovers on routine in bounds, ONO’s in ability to shoot the mid range jumper (they didn’t even bother to guard her), Geno’s timeout with 24 seconds on shot clock, and—finally—the conventional wisdom plat for the last shot at the end of the third. Along with the prevent defense in football, this is the dumbest play in all sports. Every coach does it. Look, you have plays, you practice moving the ball to find the open shot on every other play and then you leave yourself with one, often poor chance to score. It tells your team you guys can’t grab an offensive rebound—percentages against it—but make the shot or miss I don’t believe you guys can play defense for 10 seconds. End of sermon. It will no doubt fall on deaf ears. But I repeat—the dumbest play in sports
