I don't think a coach should avoid intentionally fouling over honor. If you don't like a game being decided by fouling a player who doesn't have the ball, and I never have, the rules should be changed. But coaches should try to win within what the rules allow.

I would change both college and NBA so if a player not involved with the ball is fouled, team gets option to take ball out of bounds with short reset of shooting clock.

A player who is about to catch or has just thrown a pass is involved with the ball.

You were and apparently continue to be, yes.

Isn't that kind of the idea?

I'd throw my bench scrubs all day at Udoka once KU gets into bonus just to put him on the line. Self would be forced to pull him.

Some coaches have done that in the past and will do it again.

KU was excellent the other day. Anyone who says otherwise has a pencildick.

Probably the best team in the country.

Self said before the year that he’s motivated to make this his best coaching job ever. Combining this with arguably the best roster in the nation could equal domination.

I'm not exactly sure on the numbers, but he was 4-4 or 5-5 late in this game. That said, I get your point.

Correct. This is as good a roster as any in college

When De Sousa, Braun, and Enaruna really come around, this team will really be dangerous. We haven’t seen their best basketball yet. Very exciting year ahead.

Wish McBride had stayed. He’d probably have been the best three point shooter on the team.

Right.

Another thing I noticed is Moss is putting in the effort. He isn't a great athlete or a plus defender, but it looks to me like the effort is there, which is important, see Greene, Brannen.

Self had him in a good deal of the time at the end of that Dayton game which means he trusts Moss' defense. He's a vet who's been through it which is a great thing to have in your backcourt.

Aww hell. I didn’t mean to thumb down you. My bad.

A vet that he trusts the defense f and that can shoot. It warms my soul.

Apparently Jalen Wilson is going to redshirt. I'm not sure what to think of that. Good to put a season on hold if he was only going to get a couple of months, but if he can contribute in March this team should be all hands on deck.

Link please

Wasn’t going to play, with Moss and Enaruna sucking up the bench min. DeSousa isn’t even getting on the court.

SDS not getting on the court bugs me.

Thought for sure this kid would play with a big chip on his shoulder.
