I'm not an expert. And even anyone who is, the game is always changing and evolving to the point where they could quickly be outdated.
I'm just a retired scrub high school player.
I really can't believe anyone would ever have an issue going to Cumberland there. He's our most talented player. Our most consistent Ft shooter. Our best 3pt shooter. Our best creator.
The only debate is when it's so clear cut who your best player is, do you use him as a decoy for something else. In cool going down with giving him a chance to make a play.
More importantly, this play is pretty irrelevant. ECU sucks. We sucked more that day. It should never ever come down to that.

Part of my problem is I never played any organized basketball so I really don’t know about any plays although I understand having the guy you want to get the ball to inbound might work in most cases though not here. The one thing I think we can agree on is that failing to get the ball up on the glsss or rim with six seconds left and a talent imbalance is not acceptable. Begging for a foul after that seems rather pathetic to me. Even though Brooks is extraordinarily weak with his height advantage he may have had a better chance of drawing a flagrant foul. One thing we learned is that Cland is probably not going to fill Jacob Evans’ role last year. Sorry if I sound contentious. I admit to trying to stir some contraversey here and there.
