He looks totally clueless in this interview. He didn't know the time or the situation. Totally confused.. I like him as a person but he's not a great X's and O's. Hell, most of these coaches are not good schematically, especially Calipari.
Dana Jacobsen did a great job skewering him here...
Take me through the final seconds. Why didn't you foul...
What are you talking about?
Down the stretch of the game, the end of the game 11 seconds on the clock.
Do you think that the game came down to the final seconds of the game?
I'm asking you wy that decision in the final seconds of the game
The game was over
You didn't think you guys could get back in it , put them on the line and if they miss those shots
you mean with 15 seconds on the clock, well what were we down
put them on the line, they miss a few shots
...Hamilton was about to walk away
a 4 point ballgame it's a question the guys ask at the end of the game. It didn't come down to that in your mind.
I thought they did a great job, they had a great game plan. They forced us into turnovers. You need to give them credit. I want to give them credit.
Hamilton was totally out of his element at the end of the game. But, he's just like every other coach, who chokes down the stretch. That's why Saban and Belicheck is so far ahead of everyone else. They hire people to track all the clock management, personnel stats, who to foul, who to go after 1 on 1. They are playing chess while all these other coaches are playing tiddly winks.Comment -
What the mantra for degenerates? Good coaches win Great coaches cover right? Leonard did his job.Comment -
He was probably bracing - and expecting her to ask why you fouled so early and often, but then she asked “why DIDNT you foul?” Threw him off.Comment -
Most likely he wanted to foul and they just didn't and he was not going to trash his players.Comment -
He is a bad coach. When you are down by 4 with 20 sevonds left you don't shoot a 3 with 15 seconds left and then don't foul. Unless your children are taken hostages and are threatened to be killed unless the game lands on 4.Comment -
But Hamilton didn't want to foul! The final play was 2 feet in front of him by his bench. He just stood there. He could easily have gotten his players attention if he wanted them to foul. It's the freakin Final Four on the line - Len, you might want to go down swinging... PatheticComment -
FSU would have hit 3 pointer after free throws anyhow so everybody gets ficked.... Trust me on this NO way outComment -
Hopefully you got 4 if not it's our fault.Comment -
Move on lost 2800. Half at 4.5 small at 3.5 pushed 1000Comment -
What about the foul on the 3 pointer. There's lots. The free throws. Come on it stupid. Bad run.Comment -
Yes, I don't get this stuff. I had FSU +4.5, so I'm glad but this general way of doing things in college games is so crazy to me. Purdue yesterday and Kansas State today both fouling with less than a minute left when down double digits while FSU doesn't foul down 4? Very fishy stuff. And given what the spread was, well certainly brings up possibilities...Comment -
Get over it guys. Tough loss I know. Keep calm and grind 53Comment -
Stay calm. Haha these games set gamblers on warpath. Think weeks not days. Just bet the same amount don't worry about bad beats it works outComment -

Not bad el Nino that's why they call it the bluesComment -
Those old grasshoppers in 86'. Fukkin remote controls.Comment -
Back when Sting was doing somethingComment -
Your mistake is you think everybody acts rationally, much less than 18-22 year old kids. I saw in the nba, Schroeder going for a layup with seconds left with his team trailing by three. Sure, in your mind, there’s still a miracle chance of winning if you foul and you make two shots but, come on, that doesn’t happen 99% of time.
If they try to fix the game, do you really think that it will be so on the nose that that ended right at the spread? That coach is making millions of dollars every year decides to throw it away to cover one game? You’re stupid if you think that.Comment -
The coach and those kids made a mistake. It was a Chris Webber moment, plain and simple. Blame it on the coach for poor preparation in late game situations. That late 3-pointer was the same way. They didn't practice that play enough to get a clean shot off and those kids panicked. Mediocre coaching at it's worst.Comment -
I watched the highlights and you can clearly see Hamilton complaining to the ref about the no-call on the three pointer. When he screamed to foul, it was too late and Robinson was running away from the defender. By then, it was too late.Comment -
U see Robinson when he realized there would be no foul? Looked like kid on Xmas morning.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Only people complaining are losing bettors which is probably 1% of the target audienceComment -
You are right about the foul at 50 seconds and I will tell you why he did it.
If they play defense and get the rebound there is a chance they tie the game with a 3 and game goes to overtime where there is a chance to not cover the spread. So he wanted the spread to go up by 4 then tells them to shoot a contested 3 with 12 seconds left and yells them to not foul.Comment -
I took M down to 4 so i pushed, however, when the reporter asked the coach why didn't you foul and he said, "What are you talking about, the game was over." I thought WTF kind of coach is this.......This is a surrender coach...Comment -
Unexplainable. Tell me Leonard Hamilton didn’t have FSU +4.5. Go ahead, tell me he didn’t.Comment -
why the hell are you people arguing or debating this? we all know what's up here and there when it comes to spreads... college, NBA, NFL
why do you think some guys around here are ML players... lol for games like that where all it takes is one more foul 10 sec left and a miss or 2 by losing team and spread is a winner. instead, they just stand around like they are down 7+
what a hilarious threadComment -
I don’t think they did it on purpose...just dumb and poorly coached in late game situationsComment
