I hope Coach Paye was watching the end of the men’s game today. That is how you play defense in the last 30 seconds when you’re trying to protect a dwindling lead. Guard the inbounds pass (or, at a minimum, contest it briefly before sprinting back); don’t let the other team roll the ball up the court all the way past the halfcourt line.
