The play wasn’t drawn up for him, but the play they ran gave them the most options for an open guy or a shot off the dribble.  Buddy, at no fault of his own and it’s the zone, I’m not sure he makes it back to Hauser, for that shot, Kadary closed that lane, next option is drive and shoot, Marek stopped that, other option was drop it down to Huff and that was locked up.   We stopped every single person we wanted to stop on that play, unfortunately our defense as a whole and it’s fundamentals allowed that player to be wide open.

The zone always collapses at the free throw line and we’ve seen this for years, unfortunately in this circumstance it was with no time left, we left the correct guy open and he hit a shot.  It’s hard to place blame on anyone when you did what you set out to do.  7 out of 10 times we don’t even talk about this and the game goes to overtime with that shot being an afterthought. Tough loss, I hate moral victories when it comes to basketball but this was one of them, it was the most enjoyable game for me this season ignoring the last second of the forty minutes.
