Let me know what decisions you're talking about exactly. If you mean, putting Kansas at the line when they did, down 3, I don't mind that at all.

When you're down, you want to extend the game, imo. They could've played lockdown D, and Kansas could've scored anyway (ala D Rose's miracle bank-in earlier in the game). That would've made it a 5 point game with < 15 seconds to play. Instead, they foul early, he makes them both and they're down 5 with 45 seconds to play.

I would've done the same thing there.

Let me know what other criticisms you (or others) have and I'll respond specifically. However, I will say this:

Calipari went 38-2 this year. He's been to the Elite 8 or better 3 years running now. He's built his program to the status of Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc. His players couldn't hit water from the boat down the stretch in the 4th or in OT. Furthermore, if they take care of business and make free throws, they win going away.

As a coach, you put the kids in the position to make plays. If they don't make them, what can you do? If they just make FTs, then their is no way anyone criticizes Cal.
