Yeah, yeah, yeah, EVERY coach will say that, sadly. I know ... save me that speech.

But, as is generally the case, they'd be acting irrationally/unreasonably.
What coach? I think a large number of coaches will say that...they want the result of the fastbreak...AND whatever happened on the backend.
