Down 5 with 1:23 and you have four fouls to give...

1-2-2 zone anyone?

Team probably did not understand Capel’s instruction, so he told them to do what they felt best?

At the very least, you employ some sort of half court trap. You go for the ball.... agressively. If you foul someone, no big deal. This is 4th grade basketball.

A) Capel is an awful basketball coach.
or
B) Capel is checked out and just biding his time.

I honestly can't even stand looking at the man and his courtside demeanor alongside his staff in their moomoo tops and sweatpants. it's like a squad full of sloppy Huggins wannabes without the results.

What I couldn't understand is that they had to inbound the ball so many times, and I don't remember any one of those inbounds being particularly difficult. You would think the law of averages would have worked in our favor at least once or twice. But a few times we just let them do it. And a few other times they seemed to hit their first option pretty easily.

I admit that Pitt basketball games are more background noise than anything these days, so apologies if I'm forgetting a play where we actually made it difficult for them. But it kind of felt like we hadn't worked on defending an inbound in practice in hopes of achieving a steal. Maybe we were too busy mastering our free throw shooting.
