They were dunking and shooting 3-pointers at the end of the game. Could have practiced running set 2-point plays, etc.

If the backups are running wild, it's the coach's job to rein them in. Could 80k no do that?

Of course the size and budget are relevant, though not determinative. Clearly, MVSU was financially and athletically outmatched. Wouldn't be the case for a Butler. This was beating up on a massive underdog. Not the end of the world, but fits well in 80k's oeuvre.
