Coach is a coward and an embarrassment to the game. Giving all that Bull hockey about 4 games in a week, cry me a river.

 

If I was the person in charge of hiring or firing for the athletic department in the school, his butt would have been gone the next day.

I go back and forth on this issue.

 

I have no problem at all with a team playing deliberate, precision offense and looking for good shots BUT I do think that a team that can play good defense for a period of time (if I had a vote I would go for a 1 minute shot clock in high school) and prevent good shots should be rewarded for their efforts. I abhor it when a team flat out stalls or when a team can't effectively attack or shoot over a zone and they hold the ball out forcing a team into man defense. IMVHO slowing the ball down and not attacking cost Henry Clay the game against Trinity.

 

I shudder to think of the issues you would have at some places finding someone to run the blamed thing correctly. I did it ONCE for a college game, it's not easy. You have to pay attention all of the time. You can't look away for even a second or you may miss something. There is no consistency from one school to another in how the running clock rules are applied, this would be rife for controversy.

I agree with much of what you say.

 

But what's so bad about forcing a team into a mtm defense?

I guess my reasoning is if you can't effectively attack or shoot over a zone but the defensive team can't match up in man why souls the defensive team be forced to change their style of play. With a shot clock a team can still defend the way they are effective and know in a certain period of time the offense will be forced to attack it.

I would love one! You can run plays and still have time to score the ball.35 second baby!

If a coach is playing four corners, purposely holding the ball, just hang him. LOL
