Goaltending a free throw to try to win the game

Let's all remember the time that Kentucky got too smart for their own good and blocked a Georgia free throw attempt in order to try and win the game. Yes. Really. Trust me.

Be real embarrassing if he missed that block.

I don’t miss Billy G being our coach for a second. The best thing he ever did was set us up to hire Cal at the exact right moment!

I love when teams do things like this. Yes it didn't work, but if it did it would have been incredible. The difference between giving up and trying all options

This is the "It working doesn't make it right, it failing doesn't make it wrong" situation.

This was the right call... Georgia made the Free Throws though. So good on them.

Imagine being someone who bet on Kentucky at +3.5

Oh right this was during the 2008 SEC tournament and they had to play on the Georgia Tech court because the night before a tornado ripped through the Atlanta area causing damage to the arena.
So within a matter of hours overnight they had to decide where to relocate the game to play that Saturday

I like this short format, Secret Base! It'd be great to see some that cover little weird stuff that wasn't enough to be a full vid but that you think people should see.

If I remember right, Billy G didn’t know it would be a tech, so he thought UGA would automatically get the point and UK could inbounds the ball.

"There's nothing about Billy Clyde you could tell me that I wouldn't believe."

[blakethornsbrough]

The offending team doesn't get the inbounds after a technical.

[williamallen]

First thought it was a bonehead move but the level of genius is incredible. Whether it works or not, it’s next level brilliant

[PtylerBeats]

I respect the coach for playing to his outs. Sure missing the extra free throws is unlikely, but it’s more likely than making a court long throw. With the goaltending, he either loses by 4, or he wins by 1. Absolutely worth it in my opinion

[namenotavailable]

Counting on a team that doesn't have Shaq missing two consecutive free throws isn't genius. It's dumb.

[vendingdudes]

Nothing beats Paul Westphal calling a timeout as a player when Phoenix had none to call in the 1975 finals. Technical foul, Celtics shoot it, Suns get the ball back, score and go into another overtime.

[Darmesis]

That's thinking "Outside the Box". . .errr. . . "Paint!" 🤘

[robertbarnes]

would have made more sense to goal tend the first free throw if at all

[tonjahoward]

" And it didn't work !" LOL 😂 🏀

[hideokojima]

The shorts are really good. Good job secret base.

[denziboi]

"darryl on the line with the free throw"
"He's taking his time"




"BLOCKED BY TAQUAVION!!"

[michaelmyers]

If they miss both FTs, the other team still gets possession of the ball off of a technical.
