Clock and foul management

[Icebear]

There wasn't enough time for all of those scenarios to happen. At some point time would have expired.

Exactly the clock was UCONN's friend.

I mentioned that in the game thread. We never seem to be able to carry out a play coming out of a time out.

We just need to play more close games until Geno learns how to coach at winning time. But I'll cut the neophyte some slack. I like the idea of fouling with 5 or less seconds left. But I'm an idiot because it's rarely done by any coach

A couple of things. One guard the perimeter and give them the 2 pts but not the trey. Second call a time out and tell the team what strategy you want so a shot is not taken with seconds left when your trying to hold the ball and run the clock down. Also you want only your best foul shooters handling the ball at that point so if they are fouled your chances of locking the game up with a 4+ pt lead is there. Third not blaming the refs for the way they called the game but in the first half when Stewie blocked that shot and they called her for a foul UConn looked to be on a run and that was followed up by a missed foul shot with Stewie going up to grab the rebound and the Stanford player knocking it out of her hands, Stanford getting the ball and scoring. 4pts that could've gone UConns way and given the a bigger lead. I ask you to re watch the game I have.
