GJV game this week. Good game, close. V team is ahead by 1-2 points during the last 2 minutes of the game. I was surprised when they started fouling. They did it 2 or 3 times, and the coach didn't react in any way that indicated he was surprised. So I can only conclude that this was their plan. I'm just trying to understand why the team that is ahead would deliberately foul. Maybe to keep the other team from getting a good 3 point attempt (they had a couple of girls who could knock down the 3ball)? Ideas?

Maybe that's a new way of working the officials? You may want to check with Coach Whatisname in that 46 page thread.
Coaches can just be the funniest little dickens sometimes, can't they?

Yeah, but I got to make up a new word because of that thread...pretty cool. My guess - the other team had a fairly poor free throw shooting percentage and the V coach gambled on them missing free throws rather than having one of their shooters get on a "hot streak" and knock down several three's...
