I think this is very accurate. But much to my disappointment, we have been very bad at winning times. We have been horrible at the end of half and game situations with the clock. The Ville should never have got the ball at the end of the first half and the end of regulation. We almost lost to the Tigers because of the same type of error at the end of the first half. And I haven't even got to when we intentionally foul at the end of games. Always way too early.
This season, maybe, but historically we win an absurd percentage of close games, like say decided by 5 points or less. It has always been one of his strengths as a coach. We may hate when he tries to run out the clock "too soon", etc., but his record is so remarkable in large part because of how well we have done in close games over the years.
