Message: [QUOTE="smillerband, post: 3756611, member: 5956"] I’d like the opinion of members on how our team executes late game time management. I understand the concept of limiting the number of possessions for the opponent which certainly makes sense but it’s the way we execute it that is frustrating to watch. A 25 foot jump shot with 3 seconds off the clock should be frowned upon and would be a one way ticket to coach‘s dog house. However the answer to this seems to be sticking the ball in your shorts for 18 seconds and scrambling to get free for a shot often resulting in a turnover or desperation brick. How often do we see players get wide open for a high percentage shot only to eschew it completely in favor of continuing to pass the ball around as if burning 24 seconds is more important than 2 more points. I’d say take the 2 points and then burn more clock by playing tenacious defense. What am I missing guys and gals? Feel free to be brutally honest. [/QUOTE]
