Found this interesting fact on ESPN and thought I would share.

I?m not sure what?s more amazing, that Bob Stoops is only 4-8 in games decided by three points or fewer in his 11 seasons at Oklahoma or that he has had only 12 games out of 137 decided by no more than a field goal. Pete Carroll is only 5-8 in three-point games at USC. Maybe dominant coaches struggle in close games? Then I looked at Mack Brown. He?s 17-3 in three-point games at Texas and has won his last 14 dating to the 2001 Big 12 Championship Game. Wow.

He lost at K-St 42-45 in 2006.

Just copied and pasted this from Ivan Maisel's three point stance column.

I went back to post this comment and he has since changed it to read as follows:
