I'd rather the kid take the shot versus tying to inbound it in that spot because there's a good chance of getting a held ball or a turnover if he's inbounding it. Getting the ball in is not easy from that spot with that time left on the clock.

The kid took the shot and missed - I'm glad the kid had the sack to shoot it.

The board makes it seems like Ray Allen was a viable option and that the kid took the shot instead of giving the ball to Ray.

Hurley took a chance, got caught when things didn't turn out as expected and those are the breaks.

The inability to actually hold onto the ball is much more troubling that anything else. To be ranked 263 in turnovers per game (14.4 per game) when the team is already offensively challenged (ranked 267 in fg% at 42.2%) is brutal.

Guys treat the ball as if it's a case of syphilis - nobody wants it and when they get it they want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Team gives effort and that alone is a HUGE improvement, but it is challenged offensively and I certainly don't view Hurley as an offensive mastermind. I'm hopeful that he'll refine that part of his coaching game over time.
