re: Gotta love it. One of the biggest choke jobs I've ever seen.

Good stuff Tiger. I was talking with my brother about many of the same things. Not really in context of how Haith doesn't let his bigs play wit 2 fouls but more along the lines of your 2nd point. Once we had 2 fouls on Holloway, I don't think we tried very hard to work the ball back inside again at all. Really didn't understand that because you're right, getting a 3rd on them would have been huge. And it's not like there weren't timeouts/TV timeouts for him to lay that out to the team. The 2 fouls were relatively early like you said and they continued to get minutes in the first half.

Really can't stand the "prevent" type of offense ever until the last minute or two of a game. I actually picked up a lack of aggression in their game as early as the 14 minute mark, and a definite "prevent" type game from just under 10 til the end of the game. Just not smart.

Also couldn't agree more with a complete inability to draw up an inbounds play coming out of timeouts. It's been a problem all year long. Their idea of an inbound play against a press is to stand in one place and pass it to the open space and hope your team mate can get to it first. Obviously didn't work last night. What was strange about that last inbound play is that frankly, neither of our guys really moved. Not to set up a pass, not to get open first. Just nothing.

I certainly don't put that game on any one of the players. Pressey didn't go nuts. Bowers was just one ill advised pass that he probably knew better, but didn't have a lot of options (other than the timeout). No real foul problems that cost us. I'd agree, last night is chalked up to being out coached.
