Once again, if you folks think that Harpring and Boler are bad, you need to get outside more. 99% of announcers are nothing more than glorified cheerleaders.
When we were down 3 with like 34 seconds on the clock NOH ball, I wouldn't have fouled. I would have commanded my team to play D, because I have that type of charisma, and then drew up a play for Hayward to hit the game tying 3. It would have been awesome.
If only fallenchicken from the jazzfanz board was head coach.
.....praising corbin's brilliant strategy to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
Any loss is a good thing now. Winning now is more of a loss than losing.
are you going to be heartbroken when KOC uses our pick on some Euro that won't play here until 2015?
I didn't see the game. Unless Corbin specifically told the player to *hit* the free throw, I don't see how it was a huge mistake on his part. An oversight perhaps, that he didn't remind the player to do the obvious thing, but to me it seems like it's 80% the player's fault and 20% the coach's fault. Was this Hayward, by the way?
Though the right thing to do was to miss, if you did the same again, 100 times, the chances are that the Jazz would win every time.
Gray is a pretty bad career FT shooter. It didn't work out in the end, but fouling him was hardly a blunder, IMO. Debatable, I guess so.
I would foul any player if he was a 50% freethrow shooter at the end of the game.
You know what the odds on him hitting 4/4? Something like 6%.
Well that's why I am the hypothetical head coach and you aren't.

Thanks. Can someone please explain to me then why this is Corbin's fault rather than Millsap's fault?
I think it is both. Can someone remind me, I don't think there was a time-out before the free-throws, so IMO that makes it more Saps fault, if there was a time-out prior to the free-throws, then it is Ty's fault for not making the strategy clear or not telling Sap to miss.
