You foul? Yeah. I would argue you don't foul because then if the other team scores a three, worst case scenario, you play D, they score a three, you're tied, you get the ball back, you have possession, and you can shoot for the last shot.
Oh, sorry, I'm saying if your team is up. Sorry, it's my bad. Your team is up by three. Sorry, yeah. Your team's up by three. There's less than 24 seconds left. NBA rules. NBA rules, so the advancement after timeouts and all that. If your team is up by three, would you foul?
Okay, well, someone should have told the Knicks that. They filed. They were up by three. They filed. They sent the other team to a free throw line. The other team scored two, and then they got the ball. The team filed them. Anyway.
That happens quite a lot, actually.
Knicks in six? All right, good. All right, cool. Okay. Sorry, I cut you off. What do you mean it's not an anomaly? What do you mean?
No, it does not happen.
Oh, yeah, but that guy was. He was going out of control. He was shooting, like... Anomaly, like, yeah, that doesn't happen. He scored, like, 12 points in, like, a minute. He did. Which is... Only the Knicks could let that, yeah. The other thing I want to ask you is sometimes I watch a lot of NBA basketball and like compared to college basketball.
And one thing I found was like the rule enforcement is a lot different in the NBA. You know, for example, even traveling calls or moving screens. You know, it kind of one of my things with basketball is so weird whenever in the NBA, they never call a moving screen for anything. You know, I mean, I don't know.
Sure, yeah. But in your opinion, is this like... Is this just, okay, we just got to play this game now where screens are whatever they are?
So you don't have a problem with the moving screen?
Right. And try to get a call.
OK, well, this is interesting. Also, we just lost like 80 percent of the crowd because this is. These guys are like political nerds, so they don't know. I find this very interesting, but I guess no one else. No one else even knows who I am.
But, like, on the topic of being a championship coach, if you had to tell the Knicks something, after a loss like that, where you were up by 17... No, but, like, what would you tell your team to, like, get them for game two?
Wait, hang on. Let me write this down.
Let's all make some money on this. Okay, so what do you think is the point spread on game two? All right. So you think they're going to win?
All right. OK, great. OK. But you wouldn't even tell them anything because they're professionals. You're like, you guys are pros. You guys get motivation. You're at the Eastern Conference Finals. You don't need me to. There's no kind of locker room moment where you're like, come on, guys.
OK.
So you're going in saying that.
Right. But this is an interesting coaching philosophy that less is more, almost.
Sure. And this idea of coaching sometimes less is more in terms of motivating and coaching. I mean, reading your book, you talk about the 96 Olympics where I mean, fair to say your coach was pretty hard on you in 96. So I don't think that Tara, the coach- I learned from her. Oh, was she also less is more?
