Don't sell him short! According to the brackets (I was there) it was 3 coin flips: first round, semi & final, an OT in the second match and a 3-2 decision in the qrts. Rules were different then.
BTW: maybe you'd like to do the statistical/probability calculations for us on winning 3 out of 3 coin flips and winning 5 matches in a row at NCAA by a total 1 point differential in the regular 5 x 7 minutes? I might up the quality on the Christmas gift.
