Failure to Box out Shooter on Last 1 and 1

[OrangeYaGladi]

Monumental mistake. Pitt has NO ONE on the line and we can't grab the rebound clean. If that happens, we get the ball to G and he likely drives to the hoop.

Because we failed to secure the rebound and the refs had to review, Dixon admitted in the post-game that it gave him enough time to instruct his players to faceguard G. Coon dawg was left open by design.

That can't be true. TC is supposedly guarded with the intensity of five suns by the equivalent of Gary Payton crossed with Bill Russell each and every game. THE COACHES HAVE SAID SO.

Yep. That hit me a little bit ago and made me even more mad...If it's a clean board, Lydon/Roberson hand it to G who gets a running start with plenty of time to drive...Have to love G's chance to etierh draw the foul and make a shot in that spot

 

[Toga]

And that lazy pass leading to an easy run out at the end didn't help. Talk about an unforced error.

 

[Ghost]

Yup, the no box-out was a killer.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Again, that's coaching. It's as simple as yelling to the team that it's a 1-1. Maybe we did that , but if we didn't..

 

[We Are Syracuse]

That no box out was so Syracuse that it hurt.

That's a good point. Always easier to get a better shot on the go than from OB or off a TO.

That said, I'll never understand why coaches (yeah JB I'm looking at you) don't keep two offensive players in the lane on a FT. How many times have you seen them grab a board to nullify a chance for the other team to respond. Just tell them not to go over the back.

If you are going to blame Cooney, you have to blame G as well. The both of them stood there, in fact G stood there with his hands on his knees, and watched that happen. They've been playing together for 4 years and neither one of them has the presence of mind to say "I've got the shooter."

Yup. It's crap like this that makes me not care that we're not going to the dance. Amazing that they couldn't handle that. These guys don't got it.

Im w you there. And also the two underneath. But mainly cooney because of his other garbage play.

 

[orangehomer]

yet another awesome play by our 5th year senior guards. they couldn't even box out the free throw shooter with their careers on the line.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Ok 4 players from SU are allowed to line up on the foul line. Who was off the foul line then?

Prob roberson because he does jack dittly

 

[JoeySimz]

Mali. Here's the end if you can bare to watch it again. Yup, G and Cooney. Worst box out fail in acc history.

Also, note how the video starts with Robinson egregious double travel no-call right in front the ref.
