Lot in common, I believe in the Super Bowl ending & our loss
2 coaches wanting their favorite player to be the hero, at the expense of the greater good of doing what it takes to win the game.
I'm not saying that - but the situations are similar. Pete Carroll didn't "want" his QB to be the hero, he had faith in him because he had come through in those situations so many times before. That is how Cal felt about the Harrisons. He trusted the guys that had earned his trust. Nothing wrong with that IMO.
I probably won't ever watch that game again, but I remember thinking that Bo Ryan had surely watched UK enough to know that the Harrisons were going to have the ball on the last several possessions, Andrew was going to start running down the shot clock and then driving and trying to draw fouls, and Aaron was going to be looking for his shot. So they took those things away. And it worked. In fact they made some effective adjustments early to Andrew, he had 11 points in the first 13 minutes and then only two the rest of the game. Many coaches, including Mike Krzyzewski, would have noticed that and gone with someone else, but Cal sticks with his guys.
