(The rules also don’t mandate that coaches put their best players on the bench with two fouls.)

Love it Theo

Also that charge Mike Smith took in clip 3 sent Watts to the bench for the final 17 minutes of the game!

Oh another thing, this set on the last play in our 10-0 run caught my attention live. I haven’t really noticed it much before but it looks like there would be a lot of potential actions out of that 3 man stack if Mike doesn’t get a clean look at 3 off of the initial screen.

@umhoops or anyone else, is there a name for this set?

It’s been run a bit. I think one of the Gibson Pyper articles mentioned it.

Found it @Superfan16 . He calls it Pistol 5

Appreciate it!

They ran this play 2 times in a row for Austin, while Franz & Isaiah sat on opposite side like this. Was just shaking my head, silently mouthing words “why, why???”

"Aaron’s call, when he’s going up for a shot he gets hit. I didn’t see it, but that changed the game.”

So you didn’t see it Tom, but you know he got hit? Yeah, his poor elbow got hit by Franz’s face.

I love the more demonstrative Franz we’ve seen lately. You can tell that’s Moe’s brother in the top pic :wink:
