Btw I’m not suggesting not calling a timeout was the right thing…I mentioned it at the time that Joe should have called timeout. I just really think joes not callin a timeout in thst situation, as well as other situations, is due to his coaching philosophy. He knows exactly what he is doing not calling timeout, he has a purpose in not doing so. He’s using these live ball situations as teaching moments even if it costs them the game, because he wants them to experience those moments and look back to see if they made the right or wrong decision so thst in the playoffs they will be better at them. But come playoff time the time for learning will be over and every win matters because you need 16 wins to raise banner 18.
Whether his philosophy is the right one or not will be debated all the way through the season, I’m sure Felger and Mazz will be talking out it tomorrow just as the NBC Sports Boston crew are talking about it right now. he will ultimately be vindicated or not based on the results.
