Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2453909, member: 285"] My guess is players were told if they can give a foul on 7'6" dude instead of giving up an easy basket do so, and this was incorrectly interpreted as go the NBA style "Hack-a-Shack" or foul Ben Simmons route. Not only is this a misinterpretation of the college rule, but is contrary to any strategy I've ever seen JB employ. We were in the lead. JB almost always prefers to play straight up defense when we are tied or in the lead. To order a foul in that situation would be to think JB had zero confidence we could make a defensive stop in a situation where a defensive stop would have been nice, but wasn't absolutely critical.
