What's this?

Last shot philosophies, tie game

1. Shoot at buzzer so no chance other team gets a shot. All or nothing looking at overtime as a backup.
2. Shoot with 5 seconds or less to have opportunity for offensive rebound and stick back (more games are won this way than buzzer beaters)
3. Drive to basket to create possible foul situation or kick out to shooter (unfortunately refs swallow whistle on dribble drives in this situation). How many times have we attempted to dribble drive, get mugged, no foul call and it's a turnover?

We took option 2. Unfortunately offensive rebounding is not a team strength this year.
