Why is math+coaching like oil+water?

[DrunkenLullaby]

Now that a coach has given away his team's national title based on the inability to figure out you're supposed to foul when up 3 in the waning seconds - will anything change?

I think not, since coaches in all sports resist simple probability analysis as if it were some combination of anthrax+ricin+bubonic plague.

In fact, look for Phil Jackson and several other coaches to make the exact same mistake in the NBA playoffs.

No kidding...how hard can it really be to figure out?

This is why Manny Acta is awesome (different sport, I know).

yeah sometimes coaches in general can just make horrible calls...
1) Isiah Thomas
2) Mike Woodson
to name a few

Well, it took all of 2 games for me to be a prophet....in fact D'Antoni made me a prophet twice over. Good work Mike!

Who's the next moron to step to the plate?

Yeah, Duncan had enough time to make himself a nice cup of coffee and sip it slowly before draining that 3. Not a sight you see often, but you just can't take that chance with a playoff game on the line.
