Portland fouls up 3……and wins.

Must be nice to have a competent coach
Different facts. Portland was up one with the ball and the Bucks fouled Grant. He made BOTH free throws to go up three and Portland called a TO with 4.1 on the clock to set up the foul.
In our game, Dillingham missed the second FT and Florida rebounded. If Cal wanted the foul, he would have had to scream it out and hope (a) our players heard him and (b) executed the foul properly.
We really needed the 80% shooter to make the damn FT in the clutch.

Or...(c) Cal calls a time out after the first free throw to set up the defense in case he misses it
Calipari could have called a timeout before the free throw and explained the different scenarios to his players. Coaches do it all the time. It's called coaching.
C’mon man, that might have taken Dilly’s heart.
Or as everybody else has said. Call the time out before the FT and set up some plans. No excuse for Cal.
Yeah but he only took 3 timeouts home with him, that would have left him with only two .
WTF, I could have sworn everybody was saying it was SHEPPARD's fault we lost that game. But it wouldn't have mattered? The hell you say!
Don’t get me wrong. Have NO ideas what Shep was doing in that last three. But yeah ……
IMHO he was being a Freshman. But that's still on Cal for not calling a TO and preparing the team to close out the game. We LITERALLY gave the game away.
Yeah but for someone who shows such excellent Bball IQ that’s mind blowing bad.
Would Steve Kerr call a time out to tell his team "if Steph Curry chokes at the FT line, then we foul like this ...? Would Joe B. with Kyle Macy? Hell, would you do that with Reed Shepherd right now? Dillingham is an 80% shooter; this not Bradshaw we're talking about. When you recruit the best players, you must be able to trust them to get it done until they prove they can't.
Lol you've been on DJ all year long but when it's Sheppard who screws up you call it "being a freshman" and blame Cal.
The timeout probably should have been called. Sheppard still fell asleep on defense. No clue why you can't admit that.
So you needed an eighteen year old with less than twenty games under his belt to perform but not the HOF coach who has been at this for so years?
Bet you weren't complaining earlier in the second half when Shep BLOCKED Clayton's three attempt tho.
Did you really compare Dilly to Curry and Macy? lol. It’s not about believing the guy will make or miss. It’s about settling the players down for the upcoming defensive possession, regardless of what happens.
When Pullin became a driver into the elbow there was around 7.2 seconds left. That was the time to foul. Not earlier. Too much time left. By the time Reed went airborne with 5.6 seconds left, all bets were off. Even an intramural guard could get off a shot.
Horse shyte. A good coach will control the controllables. That means when you've got a 2 point lead and the ball with 15 seconds left, you call timeout and set the team's mind to what they need to do. These are players, not coaches. They need a coach to help them. You don't just pocket three timeouts and "trust" them. That's absurd on its face. Good coaches don't do that. Only arrogant egomaniacs or lazy fatasses do that.
No? What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China?
If a player does something well I compliment it. If he doesn’t I usually criticize it. This isn’t rocket science.
Has the whole earth gone caterwampus?
Cal can't do that- it might take some thinking on his part but you would think one of his assistants would mention that
Bingo. Only 2 options. He would make it or miss it. No excuse to not be prepared for the only 2 possible scenarios.
Too much time was left for us to foul. You only do it with 5-7 seconds or less. Not 14.
You let them get down there then move in for the obvious foul and they could potentially getting a shooting foul and extra FTs or make it or something else crazy.
Also, if he yells it out, you can bet they'll get in to a shooting motion.
Now, he should have called one of the timeouts (plural) we had left to set it up then fouled at around 7 seconds. Also would have let everyone know not to leave they guy who hit all the 3s open.
Also should have had the inbounds thrown to someone then right back to Sheppard for him to shoot, but Dillingham is a good shooter and is someone that you would assume you could trust there.

Iowa fouls up 3 vs Ohio State with 8 seconds left and wins............
What's that you say?? That word you spoke of------C-O-A-C-H-I-N-G. I think I've heard it before. Sounds familiar, but....I haven't seen that at Kentucky for a long time. My memory doesn't go back that far. It escapes me.🤣🤣
GO BIG BLUE!!!💙💙💙
Their coach must be a genius, I wonder why he wastes that intellect coaching basketball?
There's a couple of things to consider here tho
Florida shoots the 3 this season at 33.7%. That is right on the D1 avg and 181st.
Florida rebounds over 40% of their misses. The 2nd best offensive rebounding team in the NCAA
People will complain cause it obviously did not work in our situation but I'm fairly certain the break even point between fouling or not fouling up 3 and winning is nearly even.

Another thing to consider the guy who shot the 3 to tie the game was on fire and couldn't be stopped and our defense vs the 3 is as piss poor as it comes and our def eff sucks
So the answer is clearly foul you have THREE 7+ Footers if you are afraid you can't get a rebound on a missed FT then put all 3 of those 7 footers in the game for the rebound.
Iowa actually fouled twice up 3 once at 8 seconds then again at 4 seconds....twice in the same game
If Cal didn't want to foul maybe he should told Reed he can't leave their best shooter for ANY FREAKING REASON. So if you can't coach how to play D at the end of the game in the most obvious situation ever then you have to foul.
Overall it's not good but UK only allows teams to shoot 32.4% from 3.
So the 3 point FG defense isn't as bad as you make it out to be.
