Free throw shooting was definitely an issue but to say that’s the only reason we lost this game is absurd. We lost IMO because of the below in that order.All of this Monday Morning Quarterbacking concerning substitutions is hilarious! We are all entitled to our opinions, but Red is the only one of us getting paid to Coach the Orange! Having said that, we lost this game because of our inability to make free throws. You can argue all day about who should and should not be playing...but what is clear is that if the people who did play, make a few more free throws, we win this game...if we made 65%...we win!
I think he was worried and wanted a second ball handler out there with no time outs left. I though JJ and Taylor were doing fine bringing the ball up. I can see what he was thinking, but it wasn't the solution. I am also dumbfounded about the offense/defense with Bell and Carlos. I know anyone is better than Bell at defense, but Carlos is not a lockdown defender.Great post. I have no idea what Red was thinking. Freeman in Bell out. Carlos out Taylor in we win.
Taylor
JJ
Freeman
Davis
Lampkin
We win.
No we don't. Reds a basketball coach not a shrink. It's simple. Don't play them if they are not playing well. Period.Finally got to finish watching it. Really thought we were going to pull it out.
Last season, Bell made some clutch shots to lock in some of our wins late.
This game... oof. Just a veritable cornucopia of terrible plays. The bad lob to Lampkin. Touching a ball going out of bounds for absolutely zero reason. Guarding that Weaver dude that's super active and not even thinking about putting a body on him when the shots go up. Whatever happened on that pass out of bounds.
We need to get him and Carlos a good sports psychologist. They're a mess.
He seems to be pretty skilled and can hit a shot but I wouldn't say he's a pure shooter.Is Petar a pure shooter? I feel like I don't know much about him to be perfectly honest. Players whose last names end in "ovic" generally are, but I don't want to make assumptions.

I mean, you might want to tell Carlos to rub some tussin on it or whatever, but his facial expression late leads me to believe he's really in his head.No we don't. Reds a basketball coach not a shrink. It's simple. Don't play them if they are not playing well. Period.
Carlos was an 89% foul shooter last year, Davis 81%. That’s why they were there.
Did they drink from the fountain of Herman Harried when they got to Cuse?
Well, Chris was a “Bunch” when he first got here.The people saying JB would be pulling Bell seem to be forgetting that JB coached Bell, and played him a bunch.
"Red completely screwed up the game"...is a distorted view of the facts. I am not a big fan of either Bell, or Carlos.....but who do we have that is better? You can argue Freeman should or could have played more...but the fact that he didn't doesn't make Coach Red an idiot. The guys who played, played hard enough and well enough to come back from a 16 point deficit!!!!! The little things cost this team a victory and it had nothing to do with Coach Red! The players missed foul shot that had they made, they win. Bell takes an ill advised 3 point shot, Carlos goes 1/2 from the foul line when 2/2 makes it a 2 point game, and Carlos has a key turnover on the last out of bounds play!Hey. I wanted Jim out 10 years ago. Red completely screwed up this game. No way Carlos and Bell should have been on the floor.
Not sure how he coaches but in practice foul shooting needs to be risk reward.
Make shots practice over. Miss shots run suicides.
Carlos played a lot less minutes, which is probably for the best, but he still played more minutes than Freeman.Freeman has to play more. It looked like he was just getting rolling and then never seen again. Once our comeback flattened out, he should have been back in.
Kudos.Well, Chris was a “Bunch” when he first got here.

Which seems not great.
Is Freeman hurt? Seeing posts about his wrist being wrapped.
Oh, didn't catch that.Is Freeman hurt? Seeing posts about his wrist being wrapped.
He was put in at the end to play ball on in bounds. Seems odd if he was hurtIs Freeman hurt? Seeing posts about his wrist being wrapped.
