Sounds real interesting
But all I got was a 2-second mp3 saying “Hold on to your butts.”
OK, it should work now.
Now the it’s just the iTunes link that isn’t working. I think it just needs some time to update.
OK.
It should be working for everyone now. I want to sincerely thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Three Free-throws for a Tech?
Unless there was some big rule change, it’s two free throws.
The box score shows 6 free throws taken after the technicals.
But there are several fouls listed consecutively. It looks like it began with a personal foul on La’Keisha Sutton, but it’s not clear if it was a shooting foul, and it was just the sixth team foul of the half. Then it lists the two technicals, followed by two “team fouls”, which I think were just needed to add the technicals to the running total of team fouls.
Maybe someone who was there can offer some insight?

Benching a player with 2 fouls early may not be as dumb as it seems
Research shows that the replacement player outplays the starter with foul trouble by 5-10%. The theory is that perhaps a player in foul trouble has a tendency to play timidly.

I understand how that would be the case in the NBA.
But I feel like it’s probably different in college (and no, I have no research to support this) – especially on a team like ours where the there’s such a steep drop-off in talent, even from just the best two or three players on our team.
