A couple of weeks ago I was playing the top team in my conference, on the road. I was down by 2 with 20 secs to go and he had the ball. My coach decided not to foul and time expired.
Now, in the playoffs, down by 2 with over a minute to go and not yet in the bonus, my coach decides to foul 4 consecutive times and put the opponent on the free throw line.
If this were real life, that coach would get a stern talking to, at the very least. So what gives? Does the coaching AI flip a coin to decide whether to foul or not? Is there a consistent rule that triggers it? Sounds like I got sabotaged twice by my own coach.

You weren't sabotaged in the last game,AI coaching about fouls in the last minutes is generally not so good in BB,but this time your coach make the right decision

To go in the bonus in the final minutes if you are down in the score is a good idea,because then you can chose if defend or foul on the worst adversary FT shooter depending how develop the game...your adversary didn't go on the free throw line with last foul of the sequence,but when then sistematic foul starts because you were down by 5 after the 3-point-made by your adversary on 74-79

I posted about this same in-game occurence two years ago (calendar years !). I was told by a GM that the coach AI was fine. Ok then.

I resolved it like this. The coach is stupid. It's a game feature, he is stupid by design. It's not that the coach AI coding could do with a major revamp, no no no no, he is making mistakes to mimick real life and often takes inconsistant decisions like a real coach could.
He has no face and no name though on crucial moments he has more power than me on the destiny of MY team. He does this as a hobby as I don't pay him any salary. His joy in life is to annoy and disempower me. I can't fire him and yelling or cursing him doesn't make any difference. I can't stop him from entering my arena which is in a way my BB's house, he does what he wants and never listens to me though I definitely know better. He owns me. Actually I believe my coach is a woman.

I just lost my last playoff game on the road because my coach benched my starters when I was up by 8. Well they went on a 10-0 run to end the game and my coach didn't put my starters back in with 12 seconds left.

So again I don't want to hear your problems.
