My first basketball coach (3rd grade I think) was the janitor at the elementary school, father of a schoolmate, a big guy with a voice that would carry a country mile. As we progressed through the years, the coaching duties turned to the teachers as you might expect but he never missed a game. Always sat in the top row in the bleachers in the pretty much the same seat. When things got a little stagnant (i.e. lack of "fluidity") on the court, he would let out a one word yell in a deep baritone voice "MOOOOOOVE" that would literally rattle the rafters in the gym. BTW, my schoolmate ended up marrying a gal from Roseville who worked at WIU for many years in the Data Processing Dept as a programmer. Prettty sure she is retired now.
Anyone here have that deep baritone voice? Does not have to carry a full country mile.

Also, when a team is down big and makes a comeback with still more work to do, I would like to see coaches call a time out, give the kids a breather, encourage them to do more. Too many times, they want to continue the momentum, instead they run out of steam and I think that happened here. CAlling a timeout in that situation has the same effect as Icing the FG kicker and statistically, iced kickers do a little worse than non-iced kickers in crucial situation.
Embrace the pace of the race.
St. Thomas puts away Western Illinois.
