LA Tech Visits Middle Tennessee on Thursday

he has no comprehension of the kill shot; going for the jugular. He pulled the press off, which is the very thing that often creates easy shots. He traded it for walk it up half court, milk the clock stuff. 20 points later, the lead is cut to 3 in the last minute of the game...

As in 'Oh crap, we have a lead! Let's slow this mutha down and hope the game ends quick" as opposed to "We've got 'em down by 12, let's press 'em now and push it over 20" .

EXACTLY. Run them out of the gym, if you get up.

As a rule of thumb, slowing down the game with a lead of 10 points or more should only happen in the last 2 minutes. If the team is NOT good at slowing it down, wait until one minute with 10 points up.

It also helps if the team in the lead can actually make their FTs.
