I love the guy and hope he's here for a long time but that doesnt mean he's perfect. Every coach has a bad game, bad year, etc. I don't think this has been one of Buzz's best seasons for a multitude of reasons but that's been discussed to no end here so I thought I'd ask about a specific play in the Nova game.
Can someone please explain to me why we were playing defense like we needed the ball on our last defensive possession in reg? If not for the bs charge call, this defensive call by Buzz should have cost us the game. To recap, we had just made an unreal comeback to hopefully sneak into ot, there were 4.8 secs left and we have a man guarding the ball and we are face guarding the rest of their players as if we are in need of a steal. I get the argument for having a guy on the ball to prevent an easy pass- fine, even though I don't agree with it as I prefer a center fielder in this situation. Regardless, my beef is given the situation, why are we not forcing their guys to catch the ball going towards their own defensive end? Why are we playing high pressure off the ball as if to deny the inbounds pass? My friend and I were saying it as Nova was lining up to inbound the ball - it was inexcusable to me and a huge mental lapse on the part of Buzz.
