Don't make your self age so quickly. It wasn't nearly that long ago...it was in 2008.

It was the boneheaded idea of Billy Gillespie to tell one of Kentucky's players to goaltend the FT. His desire was to force the score to be awarded instead of allowing the clock to start on the obvious deliberate miss that was going to occur....there was about 1 second left on the clock and the shooting team was already up by 2. The only problem was that he didn't know that the GT also came with a T in that case....as it should.
