...in thise case, I think he is wrong. SO wrong that ONE former NBA coach...Stan Van Gundy...and another FUTURE coach and a VERY GOOD point guard in his day thought the same.
Well he wasn't the only one wrong. Phil Jackson actually thought Orlando still had a foul to give when they inbounded with 11 seconds left so Phil decided to inbound from full court instead of half court to deal with the foul he was expecting Orlando to take when actually Orlando had already used its one team foul and didn't have anymore to give. I think the bad info Phil had obviously turned out well for the Lakers because Orlando left Fisher open to catch the pass and drive up the court. On the other hand, Van Gundy took his chances with not fouling when he was up by 3 and let the Lakers take the shot.
Both coaches made some ball calls, but only one is paying for it.
