Agreed. Haase immediately called a time out and yanked Sharma and one or two other starters, and right after that we started chipping away at Colorado's lead. I'm not a big Haase defender, but he made the right moves yesterday.
One thing that hasn't come up in the discussions about Haase is whether or not players are improving under him. I'm seeing a ton of improvement in individual players this season. Okpala has improved in almost every metric and has a good chance fo being a lottery pick. Sharma has mostly gotten his foul issues mostly under control and is contributing on offense and defense. Wills hardly played at the start of the year but is looking great lately. Davis has continued to struggle a bit this year with turnovers, but Haase has been letting him play 2 guard more recently, which I think is helping (more so next year when Terry arrives).
