Not sure anyone signing with Baylor has that listed as a realistic goal.

Seems like coaches in all sports could use an advisor on the sidelines.

They already do....they are called assistant coaches.
One reason I have heard for not fouling was that there is a concern that the player shooting two shots, makes the first shot and misses (likely intentional) the second. The team behind grabs the rebound and makes a put-back (to tie the game) and is fouled in the process.....allowing the team behind to get four points out of the possession and the lead.
You could also run into a situation in fouling that almost bit us in the butt yesterday, would be a situation where the team leading intentionally fouls, but the player fouling is off balance, trips or whatever and the foul results in action that could be classified by an official to be a flagrant one....resulting in two free throws and the ball....giving the chance to have a 4-point possession and winning the game.
I am sure different coaches have different philosophies based on past experiences, but I have seen more often than not to let it play out (not intentionally foul).

Maybe I should have been more clear.
Coaches need 'Independent' advisors, as assistants can still end up being 'yes-men' and don't want to be seen as showing up the boss.
With an independent advisor, they'd basically be giving you non-biased, common sense guidance. And as a coach, you could take it or leave it.
Oftentimes, we see too many coaches become fans in critical moments or don't think things through properly, and it ends up costing a team in critical moments.
Case in point - in yesterday's football game, it sure would have been nice if someone had been in Dave Aranda's ear and suggested he at least challenge or question the called 'Josh Cameron non-catch' when we were down by 11.
Not that we would have won, but just standing there and not saying anything pretty much sealed the deal in Tucson.
As for the non-foul strategy, you should still go that route EVERY time.
When we're talking about intentionally missing free throws, getting the loose-ball rebound, and making a shot afterwards, the likelihood of all that happening is much less than a player hitting a single 3 to tie a game.
A number of things have to go just right for the former to play out in your opponent's favor.
With the latter, only ONE thing needs to happen.

All that now comes down to NIL. BU is consistently ranked, talented players get to play. Facilities are great! Coach is endearing. Wins are frequent. And good players don't rot on a 15 player bench. Lot's of reasons to play at BU. And yes NC knows what it is like at the next level, WNBA. And she knows how to get you there. Brand new state of the Art arena and training facilities.

The foul when up by 3 should be an EVERY time for WBB. Not even a question. And the players should be prepared for that. The biggest issue/question I have at this point in the season is discipline and just overall preparedness. This is an older team. These players should know basketball fundamentals. I often felt Andrews had gone back a few pegs to her high school days after CNC took over. I think she was having more fun, but I also think that goes hand in hand with disciple. I don't see high bsketball IQ or discipline from this team as of right now. Hope that changes. But I fear CNC is more concerned with being a friend than a coach. She's an amazing person - but I want someone with a little fire.
