Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, March 28, 2005

Some UConn fans complain bitterly that Susan Borchardt showed a lack of class by taking a layup at the end, when the shot clock was off, and the Huskies had stopped fouling.

Borchardt is an awesome player and a Minnesota hometown hero. But as I said after the Duke-UNC game earlier this month, players in that situation should really just dribble out the clock. And coaches should instruct their teams accordingly.

It's not a big deal. It's just a small but worthwhile gesture of sportsmanship.
