Thank you! I can never understand why coaches REFUSE to foul in that situation. The odds of hitting a three pointer are significantly better than converting the "make the first free throw then purposely miss the second and tip in the offensive rebound" play.
Every year during March Madness I see a team force overtime by hitting a 3 pointer in the final seconds and every year I think that people will finally start fouling late in games. I also thought that the Christian Latnear (sic) shot against Kentucky will forever convince teams to always guard the inbounds passer, but of course a few years ago the Spurs opted to let Gary Payton inbound the ball uncontested to Derek Fisher with 0.4 seconds left on the clock. That didn't work out so well.
