Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2026938, member: 40"] Spot on. I remember after we beat Georgia in 1996, in that wild finish, JB talked about how the only difference between a coach being smart or dumb is whether players make plays. When we got the rebound at the end, John Wallace had the ball and pushed it coast to coast. JB said that his first instinct was to call timeout [and in replays, you can see him almost physically signaling for it, but then changing his mind], but because our star had the ball, he didn't. Wallace drills a running three pointer at the buzzer, and suddenly JB is a genius. Would he have been a worse coach if Wallace's shot had rimmed out? As you state, its a fine line between something being a great coaching move or the coach being a goat -- and it is all predicated upon whether players make plays. [/QUOTE]
