Brown basically said the entire 4th quarter he was ignored. “Told em play with pace, and you’ve got guys rolling the ball up the floor.”

It’s weird af though, bc when you watch the replay and focus on the coaches, none of them are yelling at the players to foul or reacting whatsoever. None of the players even attempt to foul. Christ, Mike doesn’t even react to the shot going in, so maybe he’s just given up completely at that point.

Is the head coach throwing the team under the bus, or is there a player mutiny I’m not aware of? Wtf is going on in Sacramento?

So he's basically lost the locker room? Damn that's weird. Either fox is checked out already

I don't think you yell at your players to foul in this situation. As a coach you have to rely on player judgement as to whether they can foul before the player can go into a shooting motion.
