The game was well in hand at that point. He should not have even been in the game. The starters should have all been pulled before that.

Yes and no. He decided to go hard, so did the defense.

I don’t think is is a coaching issue which I think is inferred by your comment

Pope has said that due to the way NeT and other important rankings are

This is true for the effcy ratings, but for NET specifically it caps at 10 pts

But NET pulls in efficiency information which was my biggest argument.

True. But it should also apply to key players.

He's started 16 of 27 games he has played in and is 5th in minutes.

He should not have been thrown the ball like that on the break.

It was a basketball play. Bad luck strikes the cougars again.

Easy to say that looking back but coaches seldom pull players to protect them from injuries.
