When you have a team that has the talent and is capable of beating anyone in the top 25 (and has proven that it can) yet you consistently lose to unranked teams by 1 or 2 points because you are unable to close it out, that seems like a coaching issue.
No motivation, no heart, bad player rotations and poorly drawn up plays followed up by poor execution in the final seconds are coaching issues
The only consistency is finding ways to suck in the last 2 mins of a game. Well that’s not true. 5-7 minute scoring droughts in every game and playing down to lesser opponents. We would lose 6 of 10 games with a 10 pt lead and the ball with 1 minute left. Late game IQ of a church league basketball coach.
