But are coaches more impatient this year in terms of just wanting games to end as quickly as possible? Two recent examples off the top of my head and I feel like there's another recent one I'm missing:
In the Notre Dame comeback game, we were up 8 with 30 seconds left and Brey stopped fouling.
Tonight, we were up 10 with 1 full minute left and would have been shooting one and one (and then two more one and ones after that), and Clemson stopped fouling.
Obviously the chances of victory are very slim at that point, but it's not like we're talking a 30 point lead. Crazy comebacks from 8-10 down with a minute left due to missed free throws and a bunch of threes happen every year. I mean, I'm thankful the others teams did that for our benefit. I just think it's weird.
