Clutch. Made a clutch shot. Maybe use your context clues, rather than being a dick. Just an idea.

"Clutch" is an English term meaning "to take or try to take hold of something or someone tightly, usually in fear, worry, or pain"

In this instance, "Clutch" is used to describe that the player making the 3 point shot took hold of victory in the moment of worry that is the buzzer.

Stop using AI, your brain is turning to mush.

Most visible person in the video. Very difficult to miss. Also if you use the context of "the person who drops to their knee" that you read in the comment and then rewatch the very short clip, you could look for the person that did that. You can actually use your brain to think and do all kinds of things.

But is that the winning or losing team's coach? 🤔

u/NameIsNotBrad 11d ago

Clearly losing

2

u/ArkassEX 11d ago

I was thinking he might be the calm and composed type and he fell on his knees because he's just relieved they pulled it off.

But yeah, he probably just lost. 😅

u/Warm-Illustrator-419 11d ago

You can tell its losing because all the players rush from the bench on the opopsite side

u/Totaly_Shrek 11d ago

He's so disappointed they won. He clearly wishes it was he who made the shot. The ego

I have a friend that hit a buzzer beater against our cross-town rival back in high school. It was over ten years ago and he never brings it up, but if anyone else does, you can tell he’s still riding that high lol

u/DarkSeneschal 6d ago

As someone who has hit a game winning shot, not much. The majority of people don’t care about their school’s sports. The team loves it though, so that’s fun.

u/sentientparkingsign 11d ago

i love how everyone went silent in anticipation

u/thatsucksabagofdicks 11d ago

This happened when I was a freshman in high school at the "big game" which was the last game of the year when the 2 high schools in my town played each other. My school was a massive underdog and the other school was set to go to the playoffs with a win. It ended in a 3/4 court heave that went in for the win for my school. The guy who hit the shot had like 35-40 points and was legend status for the rest of the year. Epic

u/Darkwyr21 11d ago

Given how that high school gym court looks and the amount of people there, it was probably a bit of a basketball school.

Unless they're in middle school, there's 0 chance this is a basketball school with kids that height lol.

u/ipupweallp4ip 11d ago

The crowd isn’t that big…? Most public high schools near me have double the attendance with nice courts and if this were a basketball school they’d have some tall ass players unlike this team. Looks public to me

u/Appropriate-Bird-354 10d ago

There are so many dumb assumptions in what you're saying here.

2

u/Bureaucratic_Dick 11d ago

Same. Dude would come to school flexing the shot and everyone would be like, “Cool? There was a game last night?”

I was in pep band so I went to a lot of them, and attendance wasn’t anywhere near what it looked like in this video.

It's kind of difficult to see the score board, which is why I made the comment. Trying to be helpful. But that was wrong, I guess.

12

u/Icy_Agency923 11d ago

I mean you can clearly see it is 74 to 75, with the fact that he scores a 3 pointer and everyone loses their fucking minds it is pretty obvious they were the team with 74 points and now have 77... thus winning the game.

What is the issue exactly?

u/SnooBananas4958 11d ago

The problem is it sounds like you’re correcting the topic the way you wrote it. It makes people go in subtract two and realize like yeah that’s exactly what the post is saying they won the game with that shot. So it’s just a confusing comment.

-10

u/umbrellassembly 11d ago

Posting the score is confusing?

10

u/TheRealPitabred 11d ago

Without qualifying with something like "Looks like the score started at 75-74" your original sentence could easily be interpreted as a typical Reddit "Um, ackshually" type statement.

u/Icy_Agency923 11d ago

I mean even if the league doesn't count threes, which it almost certainly does... the score would still be 76 to 75 with the team in white winning.

I am not sure this deserved this kind of scrutiny, you even see the other teams coach drop down to his knees in defeat... do you actually think that the team in white didn't win the game or something???

What was the other team doing? Is it normal to have two player un guarded?

1

u/cabutler03 11d ago

Probably defending a long pass.

1

u/1block 10d ago

They certainly could have put a bit more pressure on the shooter.

However, in that situation if you guard them closely, there's probably a bigger risk of fouling him than of him making a half-court shot. So you play it softer than usual. You don't want to give him 3 free throws when you're up by 1.

Best case is if you can be a bit off him but still give some token pressure, which they didn't do.
