With a team this inexperienced, in a winnable game, on the road, against an SEC foe, he needs to call a TO at that point, and he didn’t.

I have to disagree here as far as setting up a final shot. Most of the plays drawn up these days in a tie game or down 1 are just designed to get the ball into the hands of your best player and then clear out. Then your best post comes and sets a pick at the top of the key and there are drive or pass options off of that. The ball was already in DD's hands and the players cleared out. This is exactly what we did without calling a TO. DD just botched it.
EDIT: I do agree that it would have been good to call a TO to instruct the team to foul after a made or missed shot.
