Sunday, March 30, 2008Tom Izzo and Rick BarnesI may be the only one...but probably not...that thinks that Izzo and Barnes are both cowardly coaches? During their respective games against Memphis, they employed the "Hack-A-Shaq" method of defense. This style of defense entails of grabbing whatever player that has the ball. A foul is called. Said fouled player then shoots free throw. This is common at the end of games to try to extend the time you have to come back. I have no problem with that. And fouling Memphis in a close game is a great idea. During the regular season, Memphis shot around 52% free throws. Which is unbelievably bad, considering how good they are. But again...I have no problem with fouling at the end of game when it is close. But neither of these games were close when the other team started fouling. I think Memphis was up about 15-20 in both games. All that does is draw out the game and makes the basketball insufferable to watch. booo to Tom Izzo and Rick Barnes for having no respect in defeat.
