ESPNs Doug Gottlieb had a private conversation with Butler coach Brad Stevens early during non-conference about what his strategy is up 3 at the end of a game. Brad Stevens told Gottlieb to never tell anyone this, and now Gottlieb tells it on national television/radio. Stevens told him Under 7 seconds and before 2.5 seconds you foul. Stevens did a lot of number crunching to determine this and at 2.5 seconds the shooter will pull up for the shot. Gottlieb won't be getting anymore good information for butler again.

#2You could foul Gottlieb at any point in the game, regardless of time, it meant 1 to 2 misses and you get the ball back. All conference teams knew this and used it against OSU. Never trust a guy who shoots less than 30% from the foul line. Gottlieb made Shaq look like Rick Barry.Comment -
