Everyone says to foul for 2 instead giving them a chance for a 3.

Perfect example of why not to do it.

[ProPicker713]

8-0 run in 3 seconds lol 1st time ever I seen that LOL

Charlotte +5 (-110) [General]	5.50	5.00
Over 129 (-110) [General]	5.50	5.00

LMAOOO BOTH WINNERS FOR ME!

[k13]

Up by 3 with 5 seconds left.

Lose by 5.

I doubt this has happened ever in the history of basketball.

[tto827]

Can't wait to see this one... how does that happen? 8 points in 3 seconds

[ProPicker713]

double tech+tech + foul from 3 pt line

[k13]

Trying to be "internet" sharp turns into this.

Chances a guy hits a buzzer 3 pointer with a few seconds is small. Worst case you go to overtime.

[lexbass]

Richmond player threw Charlotte player to the ground on the front end of a 1-and-1. Got technical. Richmond fouled Charlotte on inbound play (ref gave him 3 ft's). Richmond coach lost his mind, got ejected, technicals a plenty.

All said, I think Charlotte was given 11 straight FT attempts after being down 3 with 4 secs left.

[ProPicker713]

I can't believe my over went over, wow so incredible.

I had the over and never in my life needing 6 points just for a push with 5 secs. have I hit and better yet cover by 2.

Need video, must see.

Hope no one pays any attention to what the OP has stated.

The ending was a complete fluke. Richmond did everything right up until their Center pushed an opposing player during the free Throws. It forced the refs hand, which led to a technical being called. Then the Richmond HC had a complete meltdown, which led to another tech, and Charlotte ball. If Richmond showed any restraint, or competence they win the game. Everything that happened was a situational anamoly.

Exactly, Richmond pissed it away by not being discipline and playing aware of the situation. Also the coach also totally lost his cool. No wonder the kids do things like they showed today. I'm a Chris mooney fan too. I still think Richmond will be a force next season.

They gave the "situation" a chance.

He could have made freethrow, missed one, get rebound, get basket, all kinds of things can happen when you stop the clock.

[EASports]

You have changed the argument into being that anything can happen. Well you can use that in any argument, and its weak. Its about the odds of one thing happening, and its been statistically proven that long term fouling is a better choice than allowing a team to get a shot up.

You should probably stick to checkers.

[PaperTrail07]

HOLY SHIT PRO.....you made a deal w the devil or something LOLOL

[ttwarrior1]

minnesota game was kind of bad also, dumb players = dumb results

[PaperTrail07]

hitting the over there is abolsutely sick

[k13]

You should probably stick to checkers.

Kid would have bricked a 3.

Instead these kids are crying trying to be like all the SBR know it alls.

[BiffTFinancial]

Trying to be "internet" sharp turns into this.

Chances a guy hits a buzzer 3 pointer with a few seconds is small. Worst case you go to overtime.

particularly where the opponent (Charlotte) is 344th nationally in 3PT% and 0-5 from deep on the day.

Richmond ML

[PaperTrail07]

be real...coach tried to be a smart guy and got buried

[Cuse0323]

Well you certainly don't expect one of your players to discard someone and get a T, I guess the coach should have weighed that in his decision.

[milwaukee mike]

in situations like this the question is always asked, foul or don't

i think the better question is why are there any defenders near the basket? if you're up 3 with 5 seconds left, just have 5 guys surround the 3 point line

almost no coaches do this, how many buzzer beater 3s have you seen with a team down 3? and every time there are 2 or 3 defenders standing in the paint like dumbasses

5 seconds there is a chance albeit small, that you could get an offense rebound and kick it out.

With like 2 seconds, no reason for anyone to be inside, only way they can affect the play is by fouling someone who is shooting a two, and that sure isn't a positive.

let them have the rebound

who are they going to pass it back to when the 3 point line is surrounded? picture my 5-0 zone, any pass from the inside out to the 3 point line would be tipped away

here's another thing i've always wondered. why do coaches always feel the need to diagram a play in a big game in a timeout with 5 seconds left? don't they have a general idea of who is going to be on the floor in late-game situations and could just call play "apple" that they practiced 100 times? instead they try to diagram some silly new play that nobody runs right

Most of these players have IQ's of 43 so you have to "draw" a play on the "board" because they are unlikely to remember anything.

this might be the most retarded conclusion you could draw from the end of this game

perfect example

this type of finish might have never happened in the history of basketball and you call it the perfect example

[orisbumplut]

Actually, it was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FLOP. The Charlotte player should be nominated for an Academy Award because he was barely touched yet he acted as if he was shot. And no, I didn't bet the game

[mcduggly]

I think the head coach made the right decision, but his player made him look stupid to most people. If the player doesn't get that tech, there's a huge chance they win (can't say they would have won for sure, but close to it).

that's absolutely brutal.

coach's a dumbass

When you have dumb players on the court trying to make "smart" plays, lot of things can happen.

Stopping the is not what you want when you have the lead.
Let's say he makes the free throws. Now they still have to inbound, maybe a steal happen, 5 second violation, etc.
Clock is stopped, you give them a chance to set up.
Instead of hitting a wild 3 at the buzzer by a team who can't shoot 3's.

If you let a guy hit a 3 THEN lose in OT then you deserve to lose anyway.
