To foul or not to foul?

MOSCOW — Idaho men’s basketball coach Don Verlin never considered fouling at the end of regulation in Monday’s 77-67 loss to Boise State.
The Vandals had a 62-59 lead with 7.7 seconds left and junior Jeff Ledbetter on the foul line shooting a one-and-one.
Ledbetter, a 53.3 percent foul shooter, missed. That gave visiting Boise State a chance to tie the score with a 3-point shot, and that’s what happened when Bronco senior Anthony Thomas drained a long trey with Ledbetter’s hand in his face as time expired...
A case can be made either way -- this despite the holier-than-thou sermons of some opposing points of view.
Totally off-base and not to single him out, but how is Jeff ledbetter a 53.3% foul shooter? Outside-shooting is his strong point. Maybe he needs to move back, catch a pass from a teammate...

You don't have to be kind just logical. That's all we ask.
