Sounds like the kids weren't paying attention to the substitute teacher.Hop in his presser said instructions were to foul. Cut him some slack.

We say bad IQ every friggin year, especially when we choke. It's not IQ gentlemen... that's just a wet blanket catch phrase.
Running an NBA offense without elite playmakers = disaster
Zone without a shot blocker is also useless.
And we are impotent in transition.
That is all.
Except for the fact that JB said after that game he told them to foul but they didn't.How quickly you are all forgetting the Duke game that we ultimately won in OT 2 years ago, but the one where we did not foul and let Duke shoot the 3 to tie the game instead of foul. So don't put this all on Hops coaching. JB has done it also. Depends on the team, the situation etc. Just not always done. But I agree it should have been done here. If you do it though you HAVE to make free throws. Cause they are going to foul you right back. There was plenty of time on the clock for a couple of back and froths between the 2 teams at the foul line.
there was a timeout between FTsTo foul or not to foul, hop should have called timeout before mals free throws to get everyone on the same page. If he was barking that request during live action it's easy to see how players could tune out.
If he had a TO left, you have to use it to set up your defense!
But even that is wrong. You foul right after they cross half court.And also just listened to Mike's press conference. Same thing. They were suppose to foul with under 8 seconds, which would be the correct way, and it just did not work out that way. So there you have it. I think it WAS mentioned above that he said to foul. But hearing the whole explanation, now makes sense what happened. It does not always play out the way it is coached.
I'm not sure about that. Fouling with 14 seconds left doesn't require them to intentionally miss. It gets you into a FT shooting contest. Not our strong point.But even that is wrong. You foul right after they cross half court.
Too much time. We foul. They make 2 and foul us. How good do you feel with us at the line up 1 with 6 seconds left? You foul with 6 or so left. Not 10surprised this hasn't been brought up yet (haven't looked in the game thread)
I think Hopkins screwed up pretty big by not fouling on Clemson's last possession in reg. You can't let them get up a 3 in that situation. And no, I don't think there was too much time left to foul.
yeah, except there was a time out between free throws. Try again.To foul or not to foul, hop should have called timeout before mals free throws to get everyone on the same page. If he was barking that request during live action it's easy to see how players could tune out.

Wholeheartedly disagree.Too much time. We foul. They make 2 and foul us. How good do you feel with us at the line up 1 with 6 seconds left? You foul with 6 or so left. Not 10
I hear you, but it's still better odds than letting them get a 3-pointer off
Hop is covering his a**. He clearly mouthed the words "no fouls" coming out of that huddle. This was discussed in the chat room last night. The camera picked it up as they were coming back onto the court. And Cooney is defending his coach by saying they were told to foul. In a similar post-game interview, Lydon was quoted as saying he didn't hear anything about fouling in that huddle.
Respectfully disagree.Only foul if there is less than 5 seconds left, imo.
Respectfully disagree.
I just think that's the way you have to play it there. And plus they were still in the 1-and-1.I agree with you pearl. I was yelling for the foul after Malachi missed the second. Then when they foul us again, hopefully we can at least keep the three point cushion.
Now I need to re-watch it. So you are claiming Hop lied to blame a kid for a mistake he made. If 8 seconds was the number he could have been mouthing no foul until then.Hop is covering his a**.
