This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

That is ridiculous. I am perplexed by the defense of this decision by some of the intelligent people here with sports acumen. It is not a close call. It makes no sense analytically or from a simple sideline game management standpoint. With many on his team admitting they were not aware of the overtime rules I am less than certain his analytics staff and he even understood them.
You do realize he admitted this decision was made before the game right? So his defense, his 2 scores in 10 possessions according to him did not have anything to do with the decision. They planned to go on offense first if the game went to overtime according to him. It was moronic.
