Up 5 starting the 4th. Against a team that had beaten you the last time by 16. So what do you do?
Let me tell you what you don't do. You don't stall. You don't try and milk the clock for that long. You don't play like a loser.
I was at the game. The team ahead had the other team on the ropes. The other team was frustrated, tired, and ready to pack it in. Instead, by taking the pressure off, the first team, the losing team let them get their feet under them.
There is no team in the country that can milk an entire quarter with just a 5 point lead. It is this kind of stupidity, idiocy, downright malfeasance that this blog is about. This loss should be put right at the feet of the coach. Ridiculous. If you are ever in the same situation, and you do the same thing and lose the game, grow a pair and admit that it was your mistake that cost the game. At some point you have to look in the mirror and determine when it becomes your fault and not the kids.
