I wonder why more people don't do it.
No question about it.
Matt Clement in studio here.
And Matt, beyond baseball, which of course is what he spent a lot of time doing and winning in the major league level, he also has a basketball background.
And because of that, I want to ask you some things.
Number one, you saw the end of that game with Duke the other day.
So you're a coach too, right?
How much of this is on John Shire?
And the only reason I ask it is because he had a timeout in his pocket.
After they make the second foul shot to make it 72-70, UConn's down two, but they don't have the ball.
You're underneath your own basket.
You have a lot of young players, freshmen on the court.
You may have told them this earlier, but do you have to cement it in their head about what happens?
Because to me, I just thought, okay, it's easy.
They're going to get the ball, get filed, go to the other end.
And then I started blaming UConn for not filing anyone.
So what is someone to do in that situation as a coach?
Because you do this.
And I think what worked to Braylon Mullen's success was the fact that it was so helter-skelter.
He had not shot the ball well.
