Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4519037, member: 833"] There are two big tournament games where I thought Calhoun didn't coach his best game: 1) 1994 Florida - In a game where UConn could not through the ball in the ocean in the second half, Brian Fair plays 4 minutes and Travis Knight only plays 26 minutes and only takes 5 shots. I get that Fair was defense optional on his good days and Knight didn't exactly remind anyone of Mutombo, but UConn didn't need defense in this game. UConn needed baskets. 2) 1995 UCLA - I think of this as more of a huge gamble by Harrick that paid off big. Harrick was releasing Toby Bailey off of UConn's shot. This could have blown up big against UCLA. UConn did end up outrebounding UCLA, but Bailey had a lot of easy, fastbreak baskets. This was another game where more Knight would have been better too. He didn't play great defense, but he was 6 for 9 with 13 boards in only 26 minutes. [/QUOTE]
