The ball goes off Josh Browns leg with 36 seconds to go and St. Joe's up by one . They have a full 30 second shot clock and there is a timeout by the refs to make sure it went off of Brown . I say this because the coach has two minutes to come up with his strategy .
His strategy : let them dribble away the entire 30 seconds , throw up a shot that now reduces the 6 second difference and wish and hope in 4 to 4 1/2 seconds someone could advance and hit a shot .
Are you kidding me ? that type of strategy had about a 5 % chance of working
Here is my strategy : pressure the ball and go for a steal for the first fifteen seconds of clock . I mean go all out to steal the ball and if you foul then so be it . When there is 15 seconds on the shot clock then foul the worst foul shooter on the floor . Temple had 9 fouls so it was going to be a two shot foul .
If he makes one you have 20 seconds to tie score with a two or win with a three .
If he make both you can still tie with a three .
You have a 30- 40% chance in this scenario
Our coach picks the 5 percenter !!!!
