Two aggressive and quick teams.. .yeah I'm gunna do what everyone tells you not to do- TAKE MY EYES OFF THE PLAYERS!!!! i dont think so. I did what I did... I could handled it differently. Nuff said.

John,
No matter how fast the game is moving you HAVE to know what is going on with the clock. We have talked before about the NBA refs and those guys along with a majority of D1 guys could tell you down to the second what time is on the clock at any point in the game. I would take this as a learning experience with game management. I have been learning to always take my eyes off the players to look at the clock every transition. Just something to think about...
