Take Saturday’s loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With 1.5 seconds left in the contest, Snyder called timeout to set up his team’s preferred play when they absolutely need a free-throw rebound. That’s something that they had already worked on, planning to shoot the ball as high as possible to give themselves a chance for a miss.
“That gives you a chance for guys to try to make a play; it’s going to be a tip play, and you try to get it on the glass, shoot it high, and hopefully get a play on it," Snyder explained.
