You then went on to clarify that post by discussing just that, but here is the context of your post:
“tennessee missed a ton of bunnies and open looks, but their players were so much more disciplined and avoided taking the plethora of stupid shots that we did. we left their poor shooters unmanned on the perimeter and those guys never once considered shooting, instead opting for quick, decisive passes to keep the offense flowing. that’s coaching. the master beat the apprentice tonight, and the shot selection may be the biggest reason why.”
No parenthetical. That’s what you said, Tenn is disciplined, shot selection was better, that’s coaching, master > apprentice.
Yet Tenn is a bad shooting team from 3, kept hoisting them up instead of playing to their strengths, and kept a Texas team playing like shit in the game because of it. Texas open looks and Tenn open looks from three were even to my eyes. I’m already upthread on record as to why I thought we lost. But your post 100 percent states coaching mattered in this game. I just thought it was pretty shitty all around.
