As for the guy who says playing it the way he did, Abel only gave PNG a 25% chance of winning? I assume by this you felt that PNG had NO chance of winning in OT? PNG played a great game and their kids should be commended...hard way to lose for sure, especially coming off of another buzzer beater with Central...Coach Abel is a great guy and in that situation you have to trust that a coach knows his team better than the average fan...it is so easy to judge after the fact...if PNG had won, everyone would be on here second guessing Coach English (inappropriately, I might add) and praising Abel as a hero...at the end of the day, it comes down to execution by the players and some times just the good old fashioned breaks. Again, as a Bulldog fan, I tip my hat to PNG for a well played game and a great effort although I was certainly happy with the outcome! [/quote]+ 2 for you! Excellent post. [/quote] Strongly agree [/quote]Just as strongly disagree. ;) The numbers are against you for letting this happen. [/quote] Read the post by speechless. [b]Trust me when I tell you he has more insight about those situations than any 5 people in this post collectively.[/b] But, at the same time, I respect your right to disagree and have no reason to believe that my opinion is any more valid than yours. As for the game of numbers ( which I happen to know plenty about) I would say that a percentage or percentile assignment might have different meanings.. If you bat 250, you are ok and if you bat over 300 you are pretty good. If you shoot 30% in basketball, you arent that good. If you don't hit the greens about 70% of the time in regulation [playing golf, you have little if any chance to win . So equating percentages with "good" fluctuates widely depending on what the circumstances are.
