The one thing I can maybe give him a pass for is that I think/hope in a tournament game that he would do it. These non-con games where the team is fricking up he just let’s get out of hand.
I guess I’m just trying to find a silver lining for it. He was clearly pissed and decided to send a message that he’s not going to bail them out. I hope when the stakes are higher he will, even if that looks like putting in 5 different players.

The timeout thing isn’t about telling our guys to give more effort it’s about breaking up the other teams momentum and calming our guys down

When was the last time last time we won a big home game under Oats? Seems like all our big wins the last 3 seasons have happened away from Coleman or Birmingham

He doesn’t do it in the tournament. He screwed that up several years back and I think he gave the exact same answer at the press conference about not using a TO to say play harder. It’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen a coach convince themselves is right.

The Bethea thing I was just lost on. Mallette was an easy cover for Arizona all night and I love his effort, but he's a one trick pony.
Seeing TBB in person a few times now, he's just really weak and he gets absolutely pushed around in box out situations. I watched Dell Osoro drive him 5 feet under the basket on a free throw rebound, forget about Akawa, that's just a laughable match up.
Teams like Arizona make adjustments at halftime and you could see that they decided to open the second half by baiting us and leaving Sherrell open any time he came out top. They figured it was worth letting a 33% 3 point shooter have every open look and at the same time they gained a massive rebounding advantage while our 7 footer is 22 feet from the basket. The game effectively ended when Sherrell missed shots on 3 of the next 4 possessions. They rebounded and went down and scored each time . An immediate 9 point swing that was basically a trap that we walked straight into. It got ugly when Nate decided to let Allen run point forward while we were reeling, but the game effectively ended as soon as they made halftime adjustments

Oats says you play these games to learn about your team well, you sure know what won't work. Sherrell and TBB jacking threes and Allen running point.
Don't know why we didn't see more Bethea the man can shoot and we went cold on a couple of occasions. I'd play him ahead of Mallette.
