I think the offense would only elect to inbound the ball if the player who got fouled is a poor free throw shooter. If the player they foul shoots 90% from the line, the offense could just take the free throws.
The defense basically has to figure out if they have a better chance of getting a steal on the inbound than the offense being able to pass the ball into a high % free throw shooter.
I mean, those games were nice because they happened to fall in Michigan's favor. But in the same way I'd hate to be on the losing side of a game that we clearly outplayed the other team over 39 minutes for just because they resorted to Hack-a-Shaq techniques on a poor free throw shooter in the last minute.
And perhaps it makes it more difficult for comebacks to happen, but if it results in coaches emphasizing inbound defense in practice, we could potentially get more games like Texas A&M vs. Northern Iowa in 2016 where they hardly relied on intentional fouls and just got steals off of inbounds passes.
I'm just trying to look at this from a neutral fan perspective since it seems like Michigan has fortunately been the benefactor of the current rule more often than not (at least in recent memory.)
If you continually inbound it to a 55% free throw shooter, that would be the case. But if you inbound it to a 90% free throw shooter, then it would be advantageous to accept the free throws.
As long as you keep the foul count running for the fouls that lead to declined free throws (so that defenders can still foul out and the offense can get into the double bonus), it doesn't make much sense to repeatedly foul unless you think you have a great chance of stealing the inbound for some reason.
What is the objection to allowing the offense to decline free throws and opt for an inbound at the end of games? It just doesn't make much sense to me why the rules should be structured such that it's to the defense's advantage to commit a foul.
Outside of foul-baiting that has become so prevalent in both the NCAA and NBA, the amount of fouling at the end of the second half/overtime that drags out games by an extra 15 minutes makes the games much harder to watch (and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment.)
If the answer isn't to give the offense the option to decline the free throws, what alternatives are there?
If I'm reading this excerpt correctly, then the title of this post is wrong. The MRIs showed signs of inflammation, but since all the other tests were normal, then no actual diagnosis was given.
Also, shout out to Dr. Chung for suggesting the three month exercise limitation period. That seems like a super convenient length of time to restrict the exercise of the OSU players.
Usually, we like recruiting basketball players for the basketball team, but I guess Beilein may not have considered rappers. You should bring this to his attention.
He actually has a daughter that just graduated from college, I believe. She was the D3 womens basketball player of the year for 3 years after she transferred there from LSU.
I mean, if between 2011 and 2015 there was only a max difference of 6lbs, thats not much of a spread to really gauge the effect of size on performance (and thats not even taking into account the small sample size).
I'm taking Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos right now and it is by far more work than any other class I have taken here. But it's also super interesting and one of my favorite courses so far, so definitely glad I decided to take it.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that were a run-first team. The offense may be sustaining longer drives, but that's probably a product of the clock not stopping that often when were on offense, even though the total amount of real-world time that we have the ball might be about the same per possession.
Having the defense constantly force short possessions on the other team also helps.
Its worth noting that Daelin Hayes, who is the number one player in Michigan, is currently committed to USC, but he is really close to Ricky Town. Ricky Town's dad was Daelin's sponsor during his USC visit, so this may shake things up in Daelin's recruitment as well.
Looks to me like that chair is a little overkill. Hes driving on a flat course by the looks of it, but the car has tricked itself into thinking that its a roller coaster.
Back when he was working for BTN's show 'Friday Night Tailgate' Jordan made it pretty clear that he grew up as a Michigan fan. I think hes from the Kalamazoo area.
In our contract with Adidas, there was a caveat that ensured that we were always the highest paid school that they worked with. If another school got a better contract, ours would have had to be reworked as well so that we would be paid more. I wonder if its possible that we did the same with Nike, although Im sure that would be tougher to do seeing as how Nike outfits so many other teams.
I just go get CDs from the UMich music library and rip music off of them in higher quality. Doesnt cost any money and isnt that much of a hassle as long as you know what youre looking for.
Why dont teams teach their fullbacks to take snaps for 3rd and short and 4th and short situations? Giving the ball to a running back 3 yards away from the line of scrimmage when you could give it to heavier fullback right under center doesn't make any sense to me.
I understand Marrow is a great recruiter, but how have his players performed under his tutelage? I figure that a good tight end coaching hire is going to be pretty important under Harbaugh's offense beyond just recruiting.
Is there a way to play non-embedded video in the app itself rather than redirecting to Safari on the HD app? I'm sticking with the old app until I canfigure out how to do that (if its possible at all).
Chauncey Billups and the rest of the 2004 Pistons were the reason I started watching NBA basketball. That was one heck of a team to watch. Im glad they brought him back.

Yeah, I'd bet you'd like that, asshole.
Have you not seen the huge uptick in new cases in the US over the last 3 weeks (of which, an uptick in deaths is going to follow)?

I know the guy that wears the costume and he was definitetly there yesterday.

That had the most defensive clips I've seen in a Michigan hype video and I have to say that they get me excited for football more than anything.
I think he's talking about Brock Mealer, not the Colorado game.
I don't think they're related. Wikipedia (I know, I know) says Ron Johnson only has 2 kids, neither of whom are named after him.

All school cafeterias in Connecticut look like that.
But then why do teams use QB sneaks when qbs are lighter and can't push a pile forward as well?

We need ThadMattasGoblin here to say that Harbaugh is going to Oakland.

This one gets me every time.
Tryhard. Not sure how this is an insult, but it is.
Cool story, bro. Just a way to be rude to people/dismiss legitimate arguments.

Do you guys play COD 4 or MW3, or solely Black Ops 2?
