That's selection bias to use just OT though.   How many tight games has UCONN closed out in the 4th quarter.  I've watched a ton of UCWBB over the years, and there's been plenty.    So he can coach in tight games during regular time, but all of a sudden forgets how in OT?   Doesn't hold water.

It's interesting to look at, but I don't think says much about him as a coach.   The teams that can't close out tend to not be his better/tougher squads, so it is what it is.  And people know that Geno plays such a tight lineup 6-7 players in the post season--that's probably a fault as a coach idk.  But the longer they play, the more it favors the other team.

Also, I think anyone who watches basketball understands that the vagaries of OT play into it a lot.  One bad bounce, one bad foul (VERY prevalent in WBB), and the game turns.

In general, when you have 1 tiny data point, and it goes against every other metric you look at, that is an outlier.
