Message: [QUOTE="RegisteredUconn, post: 3142279, member: 1477"] What's your nominee? Every now and then I like to watch this sequence again because it is so preposterous on its face. How does a coach (even if he's the greatest coach in the history of WCBB) make that call in that situation? [B][U]The Stage:[/U][/B] National Championship Game; just under 2 minutes to go; UConn nursing a 6 point lead. [B][U]The Characters:[/U][/B] (as already noted) Best Coach; 4 of the top 6 seniors in the nation (as determined by WNBA draft position); 1 sophomore. [B][U]The Call:[/U][/B] Position all 4 seniors (a group so talented even Pat Summitt said she might have to go to UConn's graduation and cheer when they picked up their diplomas) against one sideline; give the sophomore the ball and the entire other side PLUS the lane to operate in by herself. [B][U]The Result:[/U][/B] 10 plus seconds of precious clock time drained; lead increased by 3 points; opponents senior leader and best player sent to the bench with 5 fouls. The action starts at the 3:49 mark. [MEDIA=youtube]hcLQbLzsGy4[/MEDIA] * in case I wasn't obvious enough, by "crazy" I mean "genius" [/QUOTE]
