Got to the other end, knock down two and the game's over.

I agree with you're assessment of the coach. I'm surprised he didn't say, "The referees should let the players decide the game."


Hopefully a coach employing this strategy (a good one if less than two seconds are left and the lead is one, IMHO) is smart enough to pull his players off the lane to prevent a rebounding foul.
