Is that after DA puts us up 74-71 why did he foul Auburn with :14 seconds left and put them on the line????
Play no one mentions
- Thread starter gabbizon
- Start date
It was early in the shot clock so I don't think it was intentional. Plus, the Auburn player created the contact.
Because is easier to blame the refs than look in the mirror to see how you coach the game, how well you prepared the players the whole season.
The play that stood out to me was the incredible effort (sarcasm) Garrison had on the tip in that won the game for Auburn.
I probably didn’t have to point out the sarcasm but just in case.

He is out front chasing some one instead of having his size down low to rebound
Garrison stands there froze like wtf. Can we please kick his azz off the team already?
Yeah I'm not sure what DA was thinking there. He had his arms straight up the whole drive except right at the end he reached. My guess is he thought there was enough contact on the drive that if he doesn't reach and let Pettiford get a shot up he might get an and-1. Not sure though.
BG has a couple of good games a year. I guess he's already had this year's.
If the other team has an alpha big BG will be invisible.
You give up the lay up and hustle to get the ball in. We foul stop the clock and give them a chance to setup denial on inbounds

I don't disagree I'm more so trying to understand what he was thinking. Boneheaded. At least back up and maybe one of your bigs gets off the floor for the first time all year and blocks the shot.
It certainly wasn’t intentional, just a forced drive that created the contact that got the foul called. Had Aberdeen kept his hands straight up he would not have fouled but Courtney green likely would have called it anyway.
why are our bigs not taught to block shots where there is control of the ball. Everyone is always swatting at the ball to try annd hit it as hard as they can. Great play by MO but all he did was swat the ball to where Auburn could get it instead of a controlled block which leads to a better chance of a defensive rebound.

I was glad he didn't let him get a and-1! I believe the whistle was coming regardless! But in hind site if he would've tied the game, at least we would've had the last shot!
It's just one of those things..........you want to play some defense there and not just give them 2 points........you just don't want to foul. But that's easier said than done. It's just overagressiveness. It's like that one play where Oweh shot a 3 and the guy on Auburn fouled him. You absolutely don't want to foul there but it happens.
You cannot foul but you also cannot "just give up the layup". There was still a lot of time left. You cannot just let them score and continue to extend the game. So while I agree fouling was bad, I understand why these things happen.
Either way.........whether it was on a made free throw or a made basket, we still would have had to at some point in bound the ball. So the same thing could have happened with Chandler regardless.

He didn't foul him. It was pretty good defense. It was the same amount of contact they allowed all night but for some reason at 14 seconds Courtney Green decides he wants to call it totally different. He's a POS.
