I find that crunch-time officiating can go two ways: either the officials are so afraid to be a part of the outcome so they don't make calls they otherwise would have or they are determined to make the "big call". There's nothing that frustrates me more than officials make really demonstrative calls in important situations. Kyle, I agree with your comments about the Thornton no-call 100%.

I see changes every game and if you review the games, you will begin to understand his substituting policy. He is getting this team ready to play big time. It has just been slower than he would have liked. Billy is doing an outstanding coaching job this season.

Twice as he was running down clock and Galloway was up on him, Thornton extended his arm fully, pushing Galloway back off of him. At most other points of the game, that would have likely been called, but because it was "crunch time" the refs swallow their whistles? The situation should not dictate the foul - a foul is a foul no matter when it happens. Also, what kind of consideration will UK get from the committee for losing at least 3 games in the final 10 seconds, 2 of which had extrenuating circumstances - the 30 ft 3 by 22% 3-point shooter Sosa and this game with the no foul calls (the first SC loss seemed legit to me)? The Sosa 30 footer wasn't the only long 3 made against us this season either...it seems like every game the other team makes at least 1 shot from what feels like half court...yeah, some of them are "open" but come on...thats a majorly low percentage shot, and I think teams are shooting it at a 95% clip against us this year...ridiculous.

Every game is like watching the same bad movie. I am a knuckle head and I could have gameplanned for what Gillespie was running. If he doesnt start next game the way he started the second half then he needs firing. We will probably loose Meeks and Patterson and all I can say is WHAT a WASTE of a season. Why was Stewart in the game at crunch time??? I cannot believe that we have gone this far into the season before HARD HEADED Gillespie does something different.

It is irrelevant. He put in a lineup that can score and is long on defense. Miller should play 30-35 minutes a game. You mentioned putting people in positions to succeed. Why do you put Stewart in in crunch time when he has played 2 minutes all game and then rip him apart when he lost mitchel on the screen? That is putting players in position to fail. Not sold on Gillispie. Do they win this game if he plays the lineup he played inthe second half in the first? Probably. Who cares what he said at half? It is irrelevant.
