Harvard had a mere seven seconds to go the length of the court for a chance at defeating Wofford in a recent men’s college basketball game at Richardson Indoor Stadium. Without using a timeout, the Crimson executed its coach’s plan to perfection and moved the ball into the hands of its best post player who got the shot he wanted near the basket.
The shot missed and Harvard lost, 63-62.
No one who has followed the 21-year coaching career of Tommy Amaker was surprised at how flawlessly, with great calm and precision, that his Harvard team did everything right on the final play.
