Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 220287, member: 716"] I've heard a bit of this argument, and it might be valid if we were talking about some subtle intricacies of the game. But think about the the first two years of your first full-time job. Then think about the most basic thing you were taught on your first day and ask yourself if your boss would have considered it reasonable for you to have made that mistake after two years on the job. Syracuse's center taking a 19-footer is Option #5 in our offense. It's a somewhat worse option when the shot clock reads '33.' And it's worse still when the center takes that shot in a one-on-four situation. Fab just screwed up. It's got nothing to do with experience; he made a flat-out boneheaded play. It's not a huge deal, but it really would have been a non-story if he hadn't responded with his all-too-typical indignant "I can make it!" silliness. [/QUOTE]
