West Virginia's last possession....

was about as bad as it gets. While we had our own issues at the end of games, it just shows that we are not the only ones.

As soon as that WV player hit a couple big threes I said he's going to force everything the rest of the game. Last play and he gets double teamed and still doesn't pass till there's 0.4 on the clock.

I wonder if WVU fans are calling their coach clueless, and idiot, etc.?

Because that's what most people here on TigerNet would be saying about Brownell in that situation.

Well, let's see...

WVU has been to the dance 8 times in the last ten years; in that time they've had four sweet-sixteen appearances and a final four. So I think that Huggins has enough credibility to avoid being describe as idiot, clueless, etc. Those descriptors would likely be reserved for coaches whose teams blow 20-point leads at home to Oakland in the first round of the NIT.

to take the example of a poor late game possession and turn it into comparing coaches' careers.
Either it's due to poor coaching or it isn't. All the other stuff you posted is irrelevant to this discussion.

If the shoe fits, wear it. A coach with as much success as Huggins has earned respect from results. Where there are no results, there is little respect and much derision. Comprende?
I don't really know where you're coming from, other than you seem to be quite defensive of Brownell. That's fine. If you like him, if you still believe in him, great. We're stuck with him for another year, so I guess we can all pull for the long shot to come through. There were times early on when it looked like Dabo might not make it; and we see how that turned out. Maybe Brownell will have some measure of unexpected success, although him winning a national championship seems a bit more than far-fetched.

regarding Brownell. I just don't understand why a coach's overall resume should matter when discussing a specific play. Either it's poor end-of-game management or it isn't, right?

It's not irrelevant at all.

Every coach makes boneheaded decisions at some time or another. But when a coach wins consistently and makes the Tourney regularly those bone headed decisions are more easily overlooked, because they are an aberration and not a trend.
Dabo likes to talk about having "money in the bank" based on past results. Brownell's bank account is empty.

Fair enough, but my point is that it's bad coaching either
Mar 24, 2017, 11:12 AM

way. Of course Huggins gets more of a pass since he has been so successful, but it's still poor end-game management regardless of who the coach is.
Clemson fans complained about Brad's end-game management against Duke when we didn't get a shot off at the end. They suggested that good coaches wouldn't let things like that happen, and would have a better play drawn up. Well, that's just not true - as evidenced last night with Huggins and WVU.

yes, the was in that case. Fact iOS BB was in virtually every close game this past season. Anyone notice the "arch" defense Saga used to prevent the 3. That is exactly what I discussed on here and was ridiculed to beat the band. Too bad some many on this site don't have any high level coaching experience. might make its easier to communicate. BTW, "rehiring" of BB is a total disgrace. Same or similar reseal;ts next season and you can take that to the bank.

no because this occurred once not some 10 times in a single year. The Zags coach used an arch defense lining 3-4 players around the top of the key so it was impossible to get a 3 off. which they did not art the end. Huggins apparently never coached his team what to do in that case and it's very simpie--pass over it for an open two and p[lay tough d and then foul if needed so as to try again. Huggins is a top notch D coach but very questionable on O coaching. Read up one him and it is very clear.

But we are the only ones who do it every other game. WVU is in the sweet sixteen, most likely because they wona majority of their close games.

Yep there is a reason Gonzaga has the top ranked Defense in the country on Ken Pom...
They are very well coached.

You're sure right about that

W. Va.'s real problem is that they had one and only one player as go-to, and the whole other team knew it. Though I think they've could've had nbr. 4 as an option and maybe gone to him, if they wanted, but this was obviously not their opinion of it.
