Keeps playing him? He's been out for weeks.
And what was he doing?Incorrect. He's a good halfcourt defender as long as he doesn't have to play deep in the post.
yet manning still put him in a crucial defensive possession. even though he's a poor defensive player, always has been.
No he wasn't. He had a lot of time to call a timeout and didn't.
This. There was no contact, only a junior PG who clearly isn't capable of managing end game situations.Hall picked Codi's pocket clean. Don't think that was a foul. Codi has to be more aware there.

Manning was trying to set up a play. That's fine. He didn't realize Clemson would pressure and Codi would give up the ball. That's a fluke play.
I agree with all of this. You call that timeout immediately. Codi has blown like five end game possessions for us this year already.Love Manning but not calling an immediate timeout after the rebound was a horrible move, whether he was trying to by the time Codi got the ball or not.
And putting a guy who hasn't played meaningful basketball since December into a game-clinching situation was extremely suspect.
Seems like the team and the coach need some polish on end-game situations collectively.
