It's been said but it's simply INSANE to NOT foul up 3 with under 10 seconds, let alone 2 seconds. It has and never will make sense to me..even if coach doesn't call it, jump bump the guy...game over...lucky Kentucky.

is it 10 seconds or 5 seconds?

The full text of the tweet:

Some thoughts on the epic end of regulation in Kentucky-Santa Clara:

1. Herb Sendek was trying to call time out but the refs didn't see it. This is why I do NOT like the rule allowing coaches to call time out. Do you want refs looking at the bench or the court? That rule went away a few years ago but the coaches wanted it back. Get rid of it!

2. There's still some debate over whether fouling up three is the right strategy, but the evidence is quite clear. Fouling up 3 with under 5 seconds to play pretty much doubles your chances of avoiding overtime. No strategy is perfect but it is the right thing to do!

3. That said, it's hard to execute that in a scramble like in this case. Don't always assume the players know how many points they're up in that situation! Lots going on and they're not all totally locked in. Happens more than you think. So the question is what have you practiced for? What's your policy? They need to be properly trained for when the moment comes, whatever you decide.

4. At the end of the day, it was a crazy, halfcourt, banked in shot. Hoop happens! And so Otega Oweh shot himself forever into NCAA Tournament lore. Somewhere Cawood Ledford is smiling!

watch again and focus on the left ankle, it definitely rolled

so, why is his right leg is a boot? ;)
yeah, i saw that it rolled, but not sure why? Didn't step on a foot, just weird is all. I've never rolled my ankle outside of stepping on foot or when cutting. but he was just straight line drive coming down after shot.

Was listening to the Clown game on the radio. All I have to say is their fans are waaaay too emotionally invested in their teams.

I thought John's Walters was going to start sobbing and wailing "WHY US?!?!?"

Pathetic.
Sounds like you’re the one sobbing

here's more video. he couldn't put any weight on it (maybe he was just being super cautious).

will be interesting to see what the MRI shows....

Ankle injuries usually feel worse on day 2 or 3. That’d be Sunday, Iowa State’s next game. I’d be surprised if Jefferson is ready by then, but who knows.
