Message: [QUOTE="BlackSquirrels, post: 218528, member: 742"] The jumper was obviously a bad decision (as well as highly amusing and reminiscent of the groan that envelops the Garden when Jared Jeffries squares up to take a long jump shot for the Knicks). On the non-box out of Drummond after the airball, it looked to me like Drummond was lurking on the baseline and Melo would have had a hard time getting to him for any kind of box out. Drummond was fortunate it was an airball or else he probably doesn't come close to getting the rebound. Drummond may have pushed off on Fair on the rebounded free throw, but that was a major brain fart by Boeheim. I don't think Melo was in the game at that point, possibly for free throw shooting or ball handling reasons. However, if you don't want Melo to shoot free throws you can just call timeout immediately upon securing the rebound. SU had three remaining at the time. You can't expect any of SU's forward to box out Drummond. [/QUOTE]
