I understand all of your comments, but Corbin never had anybody warming up in the pen. So basically he was casting his lot entirely with the kid on the mound. NCAA tourney aside, that is not normal coaching. His pitcher loaded the bases, then walked in the go ahead run, all with 2 outs. Normally, a coach would be bringing somebody else in at that point, but nobody was even warming up, so Corbin had made a decision he wasn't gonna use anymore pitchers, and he did not care whether he lost or not. To me it appears that he may actually have preferred to lose this game. I cannot blame him. They are locked for a tourney bid, and even a sweep through the SEC Tourney was not going to improve their seed in the NCAA tourney. So the SEC Tourney is a meaningless exercise. It is a way for bubble teams to punch their ticket to the NCAA's or an opportunity for teams to play their way onto the bubble. In the future, I think the SEC Tourney should be single elemination period.
.... but Corbin tanked this game.
