first, great run and great regular season....but zone with 1.5 minutes left an brining mooney in? don't understand the zone switch, even if we were tired, there were 90 seconds left...andbringing in mooney for a d for o switch = fine i suppose (though still don't understand), but after rush stepped on the court, just out of curiousity, why leave mooney in again?

I am sure RB's is going to get that question in post game.

Is the post game interview broadcasted?

 

[MrMojoRisin]

Doesn't matter who was in there. Looks like Augustin was determined that he would take the shot... which was a bad one.

Mooney was probably there to try to prevent a particularly good free throw shooter from getting the ball or to foul a particularly bad one. On the inbounds play, wasn't he fronting Chalmers?

Tom brings up an interesting point. Can someone confirm if that is the rule ala baseball where a pitcher must face at least one batter.

Rule 3, Sec. 4 Substitutions.

Art. 14 says a player who has been taken out may go back in at the next opportunity for substitutions, provided the clock has started. Art. 15 says a player who comes in legally may also be taken out in the same dead ball situation.

So, I think Mooney could have come out, but the person he replaced couldn't go back in?

Here's the way I was thinking on this:

Mooney was left in the game to screen, which is what Atchley would have been doing. Since the offense almost never relies on the roll, there was no difference in having Mooney in the game. And, whether they scored or not, he'd be on the floor to foul, which is what he was first sent in to do. Atchley could return (which I believe he did) after the first KU foul shot.
