You're talking about one of the last plays of the game. I'm talking about the game with about 3 minutes left. Geno clearly gave the run clock sign. There is no doubt that's what he wanted to do. It's what any coach would do when you have the lead with a few minutes to play. This is just situational awareness, nothing fancy. You walk the ball up the court and burn 7 seconds of clock while avoiding a back court violation. Then you play hot potato with the ball until you have maybe 10 seconds left on the clock, and then you try to get it inside for the high percentage shot and greater probability of a foul and an "and 1." If you're under 2 minutes you make sure your best FT shooter (KML) has the ball in her hands. This is all pretty basic stuff. Yes multiple mistakes were made at the end, but that Kiah play really got the ball of yarn unraveling. Had they run more clock, perhaps the last sequence that allowed the game tying 3 by Orrange doesn't ever happen. I've never had the pleasure of seeing a Huskies practice, but for end of the game situations, less boot camp style and more practical real world situations might be more of a help to the players, especially given how rare it is for UConn to be in that spot in the first place. It's great they practice 5 on 8 to see if they can break an intense press, but they're never going to face that in a real game (unless the NCAA changes the rules), and certainly not with 15 seconds left and a slim lead. What they are going to face is defenders trying to force a 5 second call on the inbounds. Or having to make free throws in a rowdy environment. Or having to play with foul trouble.
