Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4861668, member: 7511"] The common decorum is that any team, whether they are ahead or behind, can and should take a shot so long as the shot clock is set to expire on their possession. As for the last possession of the game, with no shot clock in effect, typically the team that’s ahead would run out the clock. As for the team that’s behind, I have no issue with them trying to score. So in the case mentioned above, I have no problem with Caroline’s 3 or Miles’ layup, unless I had UConn -20 on the betting line. Then I would have been out of my mind over a “bad beat!” One other point. I love it when UConn has the game in hand with Nika dribbling out the clock when, with a few seconds left in the game, she simply places the ball on the court and walks away. It’s the basketball equivalent of a “mic drop.” [/QUOTE]
