How does Coach Booher ask his team to fight, claw and play as hard as they could and then just when it seems they have the upper hand say STOP. Lets dribble a while and lose all of our momentum and lets definitely not exploit their foul trouble and short bench. Horrible coaching. It is a coaches job to put his players in position to succeed and I dont think he did that tonight. Lets be honest he fell into a program Rowe had already built and a ton of talent coming in. He obviously does some things well but when it comes to X's and O's during a game he obviously struggles. Please I am not talking about him as a person so dont get excited. Point blank he struggled tonight.

Excellent post. You play to win the game, but in this case Booher was playing not to lose (i.e. giving Paintsville a chance at the last shot) and it caused them to get beat in the long run.
