If your side has the ball and is leading with two seconds left, why would you even try to shoot? You hold the ball and run out the clock. Maybe you would get fouled and go to the line. BUT, you don’t try to take a shot. The boy tried to do a little showboating and got his team eliminated.
Dumb plays happen. But scoring the winning basket for the opponent? How the hell is he going to live that down. If that was me I would transfer out of that school. The coach said all the PC crap about it only being a game and it didn’t really matter, but I bet he, and the rest of the team, and the student body, would really like to stomp the crap out of him.
I bet Pete Rose could answer that...
