Message: [QUOTE="JOC44, post: 1815472, member: 613"] Boeheim's genius on this issue is because he recognizes the secondary effects of pulling a guy after his second foul. The media focuses on what happens after the second foul -- will the player get a third foul before halftime. Boeheim focuses on what the policy of sitting a guy with two fouls has on a player after his first foul. Boeheim made this point once, that he started sitting players after their second foul and what happened was Derrick Coleman got his first foul and then wouldn't guard anyone for the rest of the half because he knew he'd get pulled if he committed another foul. Boeheim said he stopped sitting guys with two fouls then and there because he wanted players with one foul to continue to defend. [/QUOTE]
