North Gwinnett's Gamble: What Do You Think?

Second-guessing coaches is part of sports, though coaches themselves don't always enjoy it.

A decision by coach Bob Sphire on Friday in Suwanee certainly provides opportunity for second-guessing. So we're going to give you the opportunity here.

With 6:58 left in the third quarter and the game tied at 7, the Bulldogs faced a fourth-and-1 on their own 29. Rather than punt and play field position, Sphire called a running play that fell short. Colquitt County took over on downs and converted the short field into seven points. The Packers went on to win 17-7, ending North's season.

"I guess I'm going to be second guessing myself on that for a while," Sphire told the Gwinnett Daily Post. "I believe in our team and the ability to pick that up. I rolled the dice and came up snake eyes."

This was reminiscent of a decision by Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith in overtime in the recent loss to New Orleans.

So, you be the coach now: should Sphire have punted the ball instead?
