Forget the ref’s – this one is on us. In addition to some of the team/coaching mistakes listed I would have changed the following; Mays would have run “our stuff” the last 17 seconds of regulation instead of Javi- Mays is only guy that wants/should have the ball in clutch situations; last play would have been set up for a 10-12 foot jump shot. How many games have you ever seen decided by free throws after time has expired? The refs always swallow the whistle and Ben missed a close in with no foul called about a minute earlier I think. Horner and Fells had several turnovers in the last five minutes but remained in the game- should have had better ball handlers/pressure guys in; (didn’t Fells turn the ball over immediately prior to racing down court to attempt the block which led to the intentional? ref’s always call that just based on appearances figuring the player’s emotions are out of control; our bench coaches offer nothing that I can see in either ideas or emotion during the game- a time out is an opportunity to check the scoreboard and to stretch their legs and to talk among themselves. This one was our version of “Ground Hog Day”. Proud of the game plan and effort- just the in game adjustments and on court basketball smarts. This loss will be hard for the team to recover from; I sure hope they do.
