Why did SD coach call a t.o. With 14 seconds left?

Looked like he was telling them, if we get a steal on the in bounds what they wanted to do, if no steal, let it go and don't foul any more. Alford called a TO with 2 seconds left and he was up 5 against zona.

Except they kept pressing even after Iowa inbounded it. I thought it was weird. You are down 12, Iowa has given up trying to score, let the clock run out.

Alford calling TO up 5 with 2 seconds left was nice. Miller returned the favor in the Pac-12 tournament and called timeout up 11 with 0.9 seconds left.

I get "playing to the horn" but I thought was South Dakota did was weird. Perhaps they wanted to cover, as the line was 11.5 and had that last 3 by SD gone it the Coyotes would have covered.

I thought that when the coaches shook hands after the game he said something to Fran about, like "my bad". I could be wrong though.
 
I liked that S. Dakota's coach was smiling and positive throughout the game, and at the end. Definitely not a tool. His pre-game interview with Dolph was pretty impressive. This is a guy on the way up.
 
Some coaches like to talk to their players and tell them to keep their cool or calm them down.

SD hasn't been to the post season ever and there was some emotions from their players during the game. I have no problem with it.
 
just wondering

On the way from being T Miles primary assist coach > being a P5 coach
 
I see no reason to take shots at the guy. I thought he had a good game plan and his kids were a steady, sturdy bunch who played hard.
Until the last minute. I hate teams that drag games out after they're over!

Just let the damn thing end....

They played in the CIT in 2010 and were not strangers to the postseason in D II.

It looked like one of their players got into a beef with one of our fans as the game ended. Anyone else see that?
 
I liked his demeanor on the side line. It appeared that he remained positive with his team and did not appear to be getting after the officials during the game.
