With 4 seconds left to play...you let your players go! It's pointless to call a T.O with 4 seconds to play! Tubby did this last year when we were close with Michigan State as I recall.
 

He sure did. On a shot he never would have taken if the timeout had not been called. And I'd be willing to bet that Purdue would have been defending him if the timeout hadn't been called, as well.
 

I mean he had a great look the second time around. The kid was feeling it. He wanted the game. The shot was a perfect one. Sure Purdue would have had 2 seconds to score, but they would have had to gone all the way down court. It would have taken a miracle.

I disagree. He was going to take the shot. It was there to be taken.
 

I'm pretty sure Tubby was originally just going to let them go but Devoe was waiting for him to call the timeout. Tubby acknowledged that he should've called the timeout sooner. I think you're referring to the Michigan game last year at the Barn where Westbrook hit the 3 right after the timeout was called.
 



he shot well after the whistle for the timeout. Only an idiot would think that his shot wasn't affected by the timeout being called.

That was my thought as well. SportsCenter doesn't have the clip of him shooting it after the timeout, so let me know if anyone has the clip. I thought it was well after the timeout, and the Purdue players were already walking away.
 

I still think you let them play...Dribbling to the corner isn't exactly the best scheme to draw up. Devoe did make a fake to get a good shot, but they were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
 



You can't knock Tubby for this one. Joseph got as good of a look at the basket as you cold ask for. He just didn't sink it.

+1. Would anyone on this board honestly ask for a better shot than the one we got, everything considered?

Sitting in Section 201 with Devoe bring the ball up court right at me with 7 seconds to go I was yelling "NO TIMEOUT!!! - NO TIMEOUT!!!"

It was made worse when Devoe did make that shot. :(
 



Two things:

1) Devoe was being guarded by Lewis Jackson as he was running down floor. Jackson was closely guarding him. It is absolutely clear that Jackson relaxed and "gave up" on the play once the timeout was called. That is what gave Devoe a clear look AFTER the timeout was called. No way would Devoe have had that "clean" of a look if the TO had not been taken.

2) Prior to the timeout, Westbrook was NOT on the floor. Tubby called the timeout to get another offensive weapon back in there. He subbed Westbrook in and Colton out after the timeout.

That all makes good sense.

Our history being what it is I prefer our chances running up the floor with 7 seconds rather than from out of bounds with 4 seconds.

So do you disagree with the shot Devoe was able to get with 2 seconds to play? He makes that shot 9 out of 10 times. Time to get over it son.
