Keith Brown was serving as the acting head coach with Justin Hutson out with an illness.
"He (Hill) drew it up actually it was his call. I don't ever resist good players when they want the ball especially your leaders," Brown said. "These guys haven't given up and we haven't given up on them."

FS was coming off its second buzzer beating loss in the last six games and Hill was actually the one guarding the Wyoming player who hit the game winner Saturday. "I'm just blessed to have a coaching staff believe in me and teammates that believe in me," Hill said after finishing with a season high 24 points. "My teammates wanted me to have that ball because they knew I would make the right play for us to win."
