[QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3830826, member: 8636"] I think this is a great topic. No matter how rare, it only takes one of these to derail your season. (Duh) The Final Four losses recently were all "end-of-game" scenarios. Did we like Gabby's off balance jumper in the lane? When we were coming back against Arkansas, did we like all the shots we were taking? I actually think we do pretty darn good with end-of-quarter situations. It's not that much different end-of-game. I think Geno takes advantage of all scoring opportunities. We got at least 3 layups today off out-of-bounds plays. We got a fast break layup off the opening jump ball. That's 8 points right there. You practice all this stuff. What a coach like Geno does, is he gives the first 5 a situation, like say, down 5 with a minute to go. You use the clock and play out the scenario. Different things come up each time. You change the scenario. 30 minutes at the end of practice? In my day, with no clock, everyone had a stall/4-corners for the end of the game. You practiced that. When I'm coaching, I practice OB plays all practice long. I'll start a sequence with a side OB play or OB under, etc. Or start a sequence with a free throw. Obviously you also draw up plays during TOs. For example, they have practiced side OB plays 1000 times. You might have 4-5 plays for each setup. Game situations are also unique to the game you're playing and the personnel. One more point: the more experienced and smart your team is, the more time in practice you have to work on situations. If you cannot stop dribble drive- kick against a good offensive team, unfortunately fixing that takes a lot of time out of a practice. [/QUOTE]
