***Official ISU vs OSU Postgame thread***

So, is this what you're suggesting w/ this "old school" & "new school" talk?

Old school - play D, forcing them to take a contested shot

New school - foul, giving them FREE throws to take the lead


would you say we are a better offensive playing team or defensive ??
 
Fred made the right call keeping his cool at the end, it gave us one more shot to win. I wanted to blow top on ref and get a T but he didn't. That's why he is coaching and I'm a computer programmer.
 
I didn't figure you would answer the question. good talk

Clearly, we're an offensive team. But why give a team two FREE shots from the charity stripe to take the lead vs playing them straight up like we did? In that possession Clyburn was all over Smart for 5+ seconds (ref failed to call 5) & then Smart made a tough, contested shot...but at least it was contested and not two free throws.

I see plenty of guys trying to show you how dumb your theory is so maybe you should rethink that a bit. Still waiting for that link, so I guess I'll just have to assume you are full of ****, too.

He's not going to be able to find it, bc the game doesn't exist.

As you, or someone else, stated earlier...teams shoot a better percentage from the FT line vs the field. No coach in his or her right mind would foul intentionally to put the other team on the line to take the lead/win in a tie game.

Especially on the road.
 
My question is if Babb didn't have possession (and the foul occurred before he even touched the ball, which it did), why didn't we get the ball back at the point it was in-bounded (in front of our bench) rather than close to where the foul occurred?

Here is the closest rule that I can find:

Section 5. Out of Bounds, Ball in Play from
Art. 1. When the ball is out of bounds after any violation as outlined in Rules 9-3
through 9-14, an official shall place the ball at the disposal of an opponent of the
player who committed the violation for a throw-in from the same designated spot
nearest to where the violation occurred.
Art. 2. When a throw-in provision is violated, the new throw-in shall be from the
same designated spot as that of the original throw-in.

I'm not sure that a foul before the ball is touched in-bounds fits either provision.
 
Usually there are plenty of people carrying the dumb around here after a loss. Tonight we got one guy trying to carry the load all by himself.
Normally I like to get in on the dumb, on either side. But, damn, after another lost opportunity, I am numb to it.
Refs, team, coaches, fans, it does not matter, just start winning these types of games. Please.
