Fouling at the end of regulation?

yeah, would have also liked PJ to stay at the 3pt line. When the Tenn player came to set the screen on PJ, PJ went under and was 5-6 feet behind the 3 pt line, which was too far to recover from. With the score and time of the game, PJ should have just defended the 3 pt line the entire time and not play the screen. oh well.
Why did you make this thread? How does it make you look if you expected Painter to make the right call
Hummel pointed out that he wasn’t all the way out on him. And since it was PJ, not sure it would have mattered if he had been.
Fine line there. You don't want him so close to risk fouling the shooter either but yea he probably could have been another foot or so closer without risking that.
I agree... this is where it is so hard for "practiced memory" to overcome situational memory. He's spent time after time practicing going under, but at this specific moment, it was not the right decision.
On the other hand, our defender of their man setting the pick should have smothered their shooter ... oh well.
the point has been made he was guarded by PJ and he shot over PJ. and we say he made a tough shot. how man y times are we going to post this same story before we decide to re-write it, to PJ fouled him before the shot, and limited him to making 2-3 Fts. an he missed the Ft and we won?
Even if PJ fouled him in the act of shooting, it would have prevented the shot from going in, and forced him to make Fts. and In a long game, players get tired and miss fts.
for this to happen so many times, it has to be a coaching philosophy not to foul and force him to take the shot. This philosophy needs to change!

How often do you see a coach intentionally foul in that situation? Almost never. Tenn coach called a great play and his team won. We didn't defend that play well enough.
More and more, especially as coaches get smart and rely more on greater data/analytics support. NBA coaches now more the rule than exception- and it seems to work at a much higher rate
Yes, yes, yes! We hired a guy who is supposed to be helping with data. Guess we haven't gotten to this particular idea yet.
old school verses analytics. looks like painter is old school.
Do the math. you have a 3 point lead. You foul him. the worst that can happen is he makes 3 foul shots. if you foul before the shot goes off, he shoots 2 FTs. and you have two 7 footers who should be able to get the rebound if he misses.
it's time to start using modern day math - especially if you have two 6'0 guards and the opponent can shoot over them.

lol, just to be clear no one is saying foul while shooting. At least I'm not
