In response to internetter
I'm not willing to pin this on Engels. In fact, I think it was a good decision to not call timeout there and allow Fordham to substitute and get their defense set.
I saw the game live online and watched the replay of the final 10 sec about a half dozen times. I saw several mistakes made by the players in the final moments:
- Killingsworth could have made a better effort to get the ball into Smith's hands, but can't fault him too much for finding a wide open Adlesh.
- Once Adlesh had it, he's gotta hold onto it and force Fordham to foul. If he ran into trouble with a trap, he had the option of calling a timeout.
- The recipient of the errant pass (Stefanini) made a cut directly towards the Fordham basket.
- After Fordham gained possession, Smith stood on the opposite side of the floor guarding... no one. Tape had to guard two players in the final few seconds.
