Mike Boynton turned away.
The Oklahoma State coach is truthful about this. On his team’s final chance to tie — a three-point attempt from Lindy Waters with 14 seconds left — he angled his body in a different direction.
“A lot of times, I don’t watch the action that’s happening,” Boynton said following his team’s 72-67 loss to Kansas on Saturday. “I assume that they’re going to try to do what I ask them to do.”
It was a candid response. With the game hanging in the balance, Boynton basically admitted he became human like the rest of us.
