What you say about about helter skelter is usually on offense not defense as almost all coaches and as we saw KS even wanted a timeout to setup D..  Our guys ran from inbounds area with 3 guys all the way back inside their 3 line with a late Odom attempt to meet Henderson and got within maybe 10ft allowing open shot from a guy that actually has the range like JJ did and even Lofton did..  so in fact with 3 seconds and we literally had 1 guy that stayed focused but fell down versus having 2 or 3 chasing the ball.  and fouling is taught to occur at the 1 second mark making the rebound putbacks we saw earlier impossible because those all were caught and took 3 to 4 seconds themselves and the Henderson 3 after missed ft by ole miss again couldnt have occurred due to time limits.. 

Just a great 3 point shooting game in the 1st half, then about 8 minutes of moving the ball to get good looks inside and then about 12 minutes of true helter skelter out of control BB allowing them to take over all momentum. 


Gregg Popovich is arguably the best active coach in the world and he does it all the time. He has an assistant whose job is to keep track of timeouts so that he doesn't have to. Honestly, I think Kevin yelled timeout at the refs in plenty of time, it's just that it's really hard to hear at the end of the game. It's just one of those things that happens.

Given we were in Memorial Gym and we had just hit a would-be game winning shot, its plausible that hearing couldve been tough.
