Maybe you should thank your coach...With 2 min to go he had already used all his timeouts. He sat Gregg most of the 3rd quarter. He did not trust his star player to be able to handle himself with 3 fouls. Thacker trusted his players enough to let them play with 3 or even 4 fouls.

They officials didn't miss the 2 free throws when the score was 54-53 either.

I agree Ashland had there chances . The big difference in this game was the style of coaching. Thacker TRUSTED his seniors to play in tough situations in foul trouble showing them his confidence he had in them and was willing to win or lose the game with them on the floor. Neither Egan or Townsend fouled out and played well down the stretch knowing their coach supported them till the end. Biggs on the other hand sat Gregg for most of third, took Whetsel out a few times after turnovers and constantly in Bushes face yelling most of the night, while Hart has completely shut his game down. The difference winning coach trusted his players and they played like it while the losing coach showed no respect to young men playing as hard as possible, his players also knew it. IMO. Go Vikings
