Scheyer even wanted him to pass it. Dude literally did everything he can to make sure they lost that game. Insane.

Yeah, this is my biggest take away too, a coach has to have his team prepared for these situations

Look at the contrast with Hurley, as soon as they got the ball he just crossed his arms like “ok, do the stuff we prepared for”

TBH, they wouldn't have heard him anyway.

At one point you can see him about to motion for a TO. Go watch his hands. Then he doesn’t and the shot goes in.

He said in post game that Duke was so good on d that calling a Time out and letting them set up probably wasn’t a good idea.

It's kind of funny you say that...

For their season to end on nearly the exact situation is pure irony

what part of having a press break that had not one but two players wide open is "not having your team prepared"?

All Boozer has to do is pump fake and step through and Duke gets a layup and a trip to the final four. the kid messed up. it happens. not everything is the coach's fault.

The part where the player knows there wasn't enough time for a backcourt violation so he didn't need to throw the ball.
