Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4465173, member: 833"] You can see McDermott crumbling this season. The second half was a clinic in bad coaching. Hurley got the T that completely flipped the script with the refs for about 8 minutes of playing time. Creighton had a 10 point lead that quickly vanished as ASU got every 50/50 call for a while. A good coach has to step in there and turn the refs around. Then McDermott buries his young star King on the bench for Mitchell. That was just stupid. Mitchell is useless offensively and is 6'1 so he can't defend anyone, especially on a team that shoots as well as ASU. Creighton should have pounded it into King for the entire second half until King fouled out or ASU's entire frontcourt fouled out. Finally, the team with the ball should never call timeout without 8 seconds left. Get the ball up the court as quickly as possible with the pass to force the defense into transition D, which will create shooting opportunities in the secondary break. Or run a go to play that should have been practiced 100 times by this point in the season. Don't run an ISO to Scheierman from 25 feet away. [/QUOTE]
