Well, he could have taken Thacker out, but I doubt it would have made a difference in the outcome. LeMaster took Kosongo out and went with more of a faster lineup, because they were behind in the hopes of creating turnovers and a little more of a perimeter threat. In any game you can look at a Coach's decisions and say "what if" I do see what he was trying to do in the 2nd half. Bottom line is this, E.R. has only 1 true perimeter shooter, and if he's not on, they have to rely on the inside game and play excellent defense. I thought the defense was there, Pikeville's guards were well defended, for the most part, but they managed to hit shots in spite of that. In my opinion that was the difference in the game.
