So can the coach. It was the coaches fault that play was late. Also keep in mind Whitmer had taken some shots on his runs on that drive. At the end of the day, the coach is the one being paid millions.
Has Whitmer shown himself to be turnover prone at inopportune times while at UConn, no doubt, even more reason for the coach to call TO as that play clock was winding down. There was absolutely zero reason to be trying to preserve a time out at that point.
@RMS25CT , my hope is Diaco working out some of the first time HC jitters.
