Carey made a dumb, dumb, dumb play - it wasn't that he turned the ball over carelessly, but that he did so without a purpose, driving diagonally from the wing to the other side of the lane, away from the hoop.

And I'll disagree further with the observation: at that moment, I said 'that's the end of his night, if not his season,' but then SU went to timeout, Boeheim calmly coached Carey for about a quarter of the timeout, and then he stayed in the game. He subbed out about a minute later. If that's not letting him play through the mistake, I don't know what is.

That being said, I don't know why he was glued to the bench for the rest of the game. And I don't know what could be going through Carey's head while Buddy is playing heavy and totally ineffective minutes (how Syracuse fans can praise that kid's defense I don't know - watch who's been drawn into the lane on nearly every top-of-the-key three when he's in the game).

But I will throw Boeheim credit - that looked like baby-steps toward a more patient and instructive approach when Carey made his horrible turnover.
