Interesting article in the Athletic about adapting Westhead's "System" to the Jacksonville's Women's Lacrosse team where this pops up:
"The System breeds these kinds of tales.
“While I was at LMU, we were playing Holy Cross, they came out to play during Christmas break,” Westhead continues. “We were right on top of our game, we were playing fast, and Holy Cross played pretty good. With about five minutes to go, it was like 110-95. They were still around. It wasn’t a blowout. And then everything kind of ended the way it looked (127-104). So I saw the coach (George Blaney) after the game, and I said, ‘Hey, you guys played good. Good job.’ And he said, ‘They were done with 14 minutes to go in the game.’ I said, ‘No, no, George, no, your guys played well! They did a good job. They were there with four minutes to go in the game. They were still alive and running.’ He said, ‘No, no, Paul. I don’t mean my players. I mean the officials.’
“He said at the 14-minute mark, they stopped, and one stood at one end, one stood in the middle and the other one stood at the other end. He said they never moved for the rest of the game. They were physically done.”
