I beg to differ! NCAA Head Coaches with 592 career wins, 14 NCAA appearances, including 5 trips (with 3 of them being in a row) to the Final Four are not "often outcoached." Bottom line: A team has to win quite a few big games in order to get to THE "big game."
With that said, I agree with Sup about the NC State game. To go into the 4 corners that early in the NC State game was a poor coaching decision on Guy V's part. I might have understood it better, had he done so with a couple of minutes on the clock, but.......the rest is history. With that said, it is easy to be a Monday Morning Quarterback and say after the fact, that Guy V woulda, coulda, shoulda done this or that! I am sure if he had it to do over again, he would do it differently.
I always felt the reason he did so was because the few close games the Coogs had that season, were close because, they were not a very good free throw shooting team. That might have been their only team weakness. Occasionally, late in a game opposing teams exposed that weakness by exchanging trips down the court with a 2-1 advantage, or disadvantage if you were a Coog fan. The Coogs free throw shooting woes that season did cause a few, but not many, tense moments.
Guy V's Time is now!
