Not that anyone will be surprised, but Shows nailed the aforementioned blocking call.

Let's count the late-game screw-ups Stan Heath is partially or totally responsible for:

1) Up three with time winding down, his player fouls a three-point shooter with 10 seconds to go.

2) Heath, with at least one TO remaining, elects to freeze the free throw shooter after he stepped up and drilled the first two in great rhythm...wait a minute, he didn't try to freeze the shooter. Oops, Steele makes all three.

3) With the game tied, he allows his team to use five seconds getting into the front-court before calling a time-out. Last-second shot is terrible.

4) Down three with 4+ seconds left in OT, Arkansas inbounds the ball and lets it fly from half-court with 2+ seconds remaining.

5) Arkansas led by as many as 11 (and possibly more, I didn't stay glued to this one) in the second half, and was up 7 with two minutes remaining, if memory serves.

Call your coach to account for a lousy job before you jump on a crew that included two Final Four officials.

Didn't care who won at the time. Now I'm darn glad Bama did.
