I don't watch a ton of NCAA Hoops outside of the Big Ten, so I do not profess to be any sort of expert, BUT having watched a lot of games over the last few years, one thing continues to amaze me.
Teams that are losing late in the 4th Quarter, even by large margins, start the 'foul game'. Really? You see it time and time again, a team will be down a dozen, with 70 seconds left in the game and their opponent in double bonus....and they are fouling!
I guess some people would explain it by saying that the coach is trying to prepare the students for the games that they are in and they need to do this, but isn't their something to be said for teaching these kids sportsmanship? When the game is completely out of reach....should they not be taught to act like they have been there before?
Honestly, these guys drive me nuts with this....they should be embarrassed. Work in your two minute drill in practice, nobody wants to see it when it doesn't matter. I just think this teaches kids the wrong lessons.....
Anyway.....I don't whine too much....but it had to be said.
