He could hear 'em...
He could taste 'em...

Just gave up. WTF

Line moved to FSU +4.5 before tip. He bet on his team. Had the line covered so ran the clock out. Guarantee it. He acted so shady towards Dana when she asked him why he didn't foul. Virginia won a game this year down 4 with .9 seconds left. Hamilton bet on the game.

I know nothing of his assistants or players, but to get as far as they did under his leadership, damn I give them credit.

Line actually moved from 4' to 4 right before tipoff. Michigan had to miss a lot of free throws to even make the back door possible, and he had no control over that. Hamilton is just a terrible coach, not a fixer.

Line was FSU +4.5 right before tip or is being reported as that by many. If Hamilton bet on FSU to cover he had the bet won thus the no free throws. Instead of trying to actually win he conceded the game to ensure his bet won. That's what it looks like to a lot of people right now at least.

It's not conclusive evidence but it's extremely suspicious. Two possession ball game with 11 seconds left going against the worst FT shooting team in the tournament. What's bizarre to me is that the players didn't just think to commit the foul themselves.

One of fsu assistants is very familiar with a team that came from 7 down in 19 seconds. No telling what went on in their sideline last night.

That was one of the most uncomfortable post-game interviews I've ever seeen.

The game was over. I’ll take Hamilton over Kenny smith any day

I get on coaches sometimes for fouling at the end of a game with little time left and down by a big number.... but down by 4 with 11 and fouling is not something I would criticize.

So let me get this straight... Leonard Hamilton is a gamblin' man who wanted his team to get close to winning, but not quite win, so he took the 4'. Why wouldn't he just take Michigan and tank the whole game? That is much easier and wouldn't have given him a heart attack... what if one of his players had accidentally fouled? The officials could have not been aware of the scheme as well and anticipated a foul, also foiling it. Did you listen to Hamilton after game? Does he come off as a game fixing mastermind to you?

I've read about a lot of different gambling/fixing schemes the FBI has uncovered but none of them involved a coach telling his team "you guys better play well enough to keep it within the number, but if we have to play stupid at the end to do so, we will."
