Yeah you can't T up the coach after botching a call you had no business making in the first place. That was really bad.

Black refs were calling bullshit tooThat one hurt. First off, the refs were really bad. Actually it was the white ref that had it out for UC.

I was suggesting a TO as well. Why waste it. IMO no timout helps the offense. Granted the last play was a lot of luck, but if they had to dribble up the court it would have been difficult (though the refs probably would have just called a foul).
Same thing in the Tulane game last year. Must be a philosophy.
Butler was clearing telling the freshman beat themI don't think we watched the same game. If Butler left him open on purpose, they are foolish.

That may very well be true. For those minutes Shaq was in, he was terrible. So freaking soft.
Clark needs to step it up too. He was so soft tonight. Gave up a easy rebound on the FT and then lets Jones just bully him for the game winning basket.
Frankly, I hate losing but just maybe it will help this team in the long run. They were bound to lose playing the way they had been playing.
Definitely agree.

Mick did call everybody over outside of Ellis for a good 30 seconds before his FT. Mick must have felt his instructions there were enough.
First time EVER Shaq didn't guard inbound passer. That might be his biggest asset to team when we press. Can't believe Mick didn't have him doing what he's great at. Jenifer was all state football player would've helped have him playing free safety.

What?
They definitely were playing off on him. He could have shot it majority of the times he caught a pass if he wanted to. Just my imo, I was in the 200 levels so maybe I'm wrong.
No, in the first half he was open behind the arc very often. I even made a post questioning why we are settling for those shots (albeit open shots) when we are dominant in the paint.
Second half, they started taking his looks away by extending their defense beyond the 3pt line.
You got them to make dumbest pass ever but our dummies couldn't get the ball. Ellis played the ball like little girl and Shaq/Clark both looked lost and scaredMick did call everybody over outside of Ellis for a good 30 seconds before his FT. Mick must have felt his instructions there were enough.

Interestingly enough, it was Ellis' man who the ball when to. Though Ellis did may a good play, he didn't go for the ball hard enough. All around the team was way too soft.
When you call a timeout it obviously gives the other team a change to draw something up as well. The question is which coach and which team can draw up and execute better than the other. I'd put executing on the Butler players and drawing up the play as even. But IMO it's much easier to execute on defense than it is on offense.

Agree with this. Shaq and Clark were soft all night. Ellis just didn't fight for the ball. Had he fought for it he could have stolen it with an actual chance to get a bucket.

Which was dumb. The only shots he missed were forced shots. When he was open it was money.

Micks postgame was spot on. Called out the teams toughness.
Will be interesting to see this team develop.

Unproven freshman. Better him than Cobb or Caupain if you butler coach

To be fair to Ellis it's probably hard to go all out for that pass when the refs have called the game against us the way they did. The last thing you want to do is foul there.
he would've shot half court shot with 3seconds anywayAgree with this. Shaq and Clark were soft all night. Ellis just didn't fight for the ball. Had he fought for it he could have stolen it with an actual chance to get a bucket.
