Not a good answer! But very, very typical!

Of course players do not react always as they should. Not a surprise for anyone!

But my question was totally different and for that, the answer was "whatever".

Even small juniors have, in our country, understood how to play last seconds according to situation, as well as BuzzerBeater Teams do when they are under!

But why teams are acting like total brainless idiots when they're ahead, and the clock plays last minute?

Just to have more exciting (tight) game... or what??? I can't get the idea!

May I have an honest answer? Please!

P.S. I repeat, NO player will try 3 points in that situation I mentioned, no amateur, nor pro!

Great!

So, That's your attitude and the way to develope this game.

"I´m always right and ### with the others who do not understand MY opinions!"

You certainly will have a beautiful manager game in the future, without any bugs.

Thanks for nothing, I won't disturb your intellectual discussions any more.

Those kind of players will have a free ticket to Timbuktu if they are doing that. Think about the coach who is yelling to play until the whizzle... if needed.

Maybe I just fire my SG before I'm totally kicked out of this game :)

Take a deep breath.

No-one in this thread who has replied to you has taken this attitude, in my opinion.

The argument people are making is that players do make dumb decisions, even when they should know better. I don't think the situation you described should happen often (at a high level of play, at least), but I definitely don't think it would never happen.

Sorry for all respondents,

Just got a little bit angry when I was following last minutes of the game today and noticed some strange tactics with "my" players and the coach.

There should be a way to act as a coach (somehow), when playing these last critical, hectical moments of the game. Today the teams offense playing was catastrophical and just opposite compared to pre-defined tactics.

Maybe in the future it's better that I only check out the results after the game?

Nah, just understand that players make stupid decisions from time to time, regardless of the situation.

Do you know who Chris Webber is?

there isn't a modifier that keeps the team up from shooting the ball late in the game at present. Perhaps there should be... now of course, that means you are gonna have to take whatever opportunity comes to you late in the shot clock.

on a basketball philosophy point of view, I think there are many situations in which a team stalls inappropriately, for instance up 4 with ~1:30 to go... I think it a terrible time to not try to score until the end of the shot clock.. because when you do that you get a significantly worse look at the basket and the opposing team will gladly give you 24 seconds for a possession at that point.

I think its a pretty tricky set of guidelines as to when its appropriate to hold for the last shot. End of quarters is certaintly one (and I should implement this) but other times its much more complicated.

Well!

I do not know much about Webber, but he obviously was a really talent player who had serious problems in his civil life? Tell me the details?

I actually know much more about Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird, because they where my NBA idols when I was a small kid.

From Wiki:

On April 5, 1993, at Michigan's second consecutive NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship game, Webber infamously called a time-out with 11 seconds left in the game when his team, down 73-71, did not have any remaining, resulting in a technical foul that effectively clinched the game for North Carolina.
