Hero Coaching in crunch time

On Tuesday night, some guy named Jeremy Lin won the game for the New York Knicks when he drilled a straight-away 3 pointer with little time on the game clock. People freaked out. But HoopIdea was watching with an eye not only on Lin, but on Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni, who didn’t call timeout and let the play develop. What he got was Lin, isolated against a back pedaling Jose Calderon with the game in his hands, and eventually a win. The next night, in a vaguely similar scenario, Mark Jackson called timeout with his six seconds left and Warriors down two, as Klay Thompson was dribbling upcourt against a disorganized Blazer defense.
