Billy on the In Bounds Plays

[GothamGator]

In reviewing film of the three straight turnovers on in-bounds plays, Donovan said the first occurred when Boynton made a break to get open but stopped running for the ball. The second came because Scottie Wilbekin broke too close to the baseline on an Erik Murphy in-bounds, and the third he felt Boynton anticipated getting fouled rather than being strong with the basketball.

There was a lot of blame placed on Rosario for the two times he was the inbound guy, but I felt both times the player receiving the pass wasn't aggressive enough.

Well, we can't blame it on lack of experience. One guy is a junior and one a senior. Bad time to have those kind of lapses.

I see Brockway's latched on to the "Donovan struggles in late-game situations" meme he was tweeting about earlier.

That game is ancient history. Working on in-bounding wouldn't be a bad idea though. Free throw shooting would be good too. Just saying...we're good. Dust off the ego's and move on...

These last minute problems surfaced going to the final four the last two years. I hope that coaching can help these guys. Bobby Knight would have deck any player doing something stupid in the last minute. Guarantee they didn't forget it.

Blame is a very easy thing to toss around but is rarely deserved.

Everyone makes mistakes frequently in everything it is just usually not at very important points in times. Think of all the steals that occur during any competitive sporting even through games. It is only during the last minutes of close games that anyone pays much attention to this phenomenon anyway.
