Most of the type of plays....


that drive you crazy are effort plays and rarely, if ever, can CC be faulted for going at any less than full effort. Just my opinion but, you live with those thinking the good far outweigh the bad. The in bounds passes you refer to are a head scratcher. For a guy who is a really good passer those disasters you refer to are cause for emphasis from Buzz, in my opinion. In last night's game I am guessing you refer to three specifically, one being the deflected in bounds(subsequently stolen) on the baseline under the VT basket late in the game, the second, immediately preceding that, where the lob was stolen and Childress called for the walk when he fell to the floor and the third being the errant backcourt inbounds to Blackshear that he threw away when trying to track it down. In reverse order, hard to say whether the last was Clark being lackadaisical or Blackshear not moving as expected to receive the entry. The lob looked offline while the other deflection was probably a combination of the length of the inbound defender and the risk of essentially trying to get away with the same thing twice. Buzz generally comes up with very effective inbound sets and VT has to execute those, especially late in the game, to give themselves the best chance to win.
