Not having the timeout wasn’t as costly as the color commentator made it seem by harping on it over and over (to the point it was very annoying).  It was a bad challenge, but a timeout with 6 seconds left wasn’t going to do a lot for us.  We still had to go the full length of the court and it would be against a set defense.  If we took the timeout after we crossed halfcourt, we’d have a side inbounds with a few seconds left. Not a great spot.  There is a legitimate line of thought that you’re better off getting the ball up the court against a scattered defense in that situation.  I’d argue our team is better setup for that than running a play against a defense that was eating our PG and star player’s lunch most of the game.

If the roles were reversed and we won a game after being down 5 with 1:09 left, I think we’d all be talking about the plays our guys made, not about how the other coach failed.

Red coached a bad game overall, imo.  The late game collapse was on the players.  BC made plays.  Our players made zero plays.  And they weren’t put in situations where they couldn’t succeed.
