Matt Coleman dribbled and then dribbled some more. The ball was in the hands of the Texas Longhorns senior point guard as the clock ticked down with the game tied 67-67. With five seconds remaining, Coleman made his move, dribbling left from the top of the key, then stepping back from the free-throw line.
The ball hit the front of the rim, bounced off the backboard, hit the front of the rim again, and finally fell through the basket.
“I’m made for times like this,” Coleman had said to himself as he smirked on the way to the Texas huddle during the timeout preceding his game-winning shot.
