Second Free Throw - Do You Miss on Purpose

[Obrero]

Why is it the same 2 people who ALWAYS have the worst takes on everything? Spread the wealth fellas

To whom are you referring? Kevin Ollie, and who else?

why would we be any more likely to foul if the miss was intentional? you dont contest the rebound, you just let them grab it and throw up a prayer. it seems way more likely that we would commit a foul trying to contest a long pass after an inbounds. if you miss, you dont need anyone on their side of the court besides vital, and you can still set your defense with a few guys at halfcourt and a few guys around our 3pt line (or wherever KO thinks is best). The post above about not getting in Vitals head beforehand is very fair. But KO should be good enough, and have the team prepared well enough, that given the first goes in he can then tell Vital to miss and align the rest of the guys

I think you're missing the point. I don't think you're necessarily more likely to foul in one situation than the other. If you DO happen to commit a boneheaded foul would you rather have a 1 point or 2 point lead? In one scenario you have about a 50% chance of losing, in the other the worst that can happen is they tie the game to go to OT (this is all assuming we aren't being REALLY dumb and fouling someone taking a three pointer)
