Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4935738, member: 9355"] This is exactly correct and Cam said this in a much more succinct manner than I said it in my post below in the [U]How to guard Jaedon Ledee [/U]thread. [I][U]That's the big thing. He needs to be told that it's okay to concede 2 points, 4 points, or 6 points in the early part of the game. Picking up 1 foul is more costly than giving up 6 points. [/U][/I] [U][I]I hate saying this, but he should learn from Kalkbrenner. Kalkbrenner never gets in foul trouble because he keeps his arms straight up and doesn't jump at all on pump fakes, like at all. Kalkbrenner walls up, so to speak.[/I][/U] I know I might catch heat for this, but I will say this anyways. Clingan when he is on the court is more impactful than Kalkbrenner, but Kalkbrenner plays much smarter in terms of avoiding foul trouble than Clingan. There are a lot of times when Clingan takes himself out of the game by committing dumb fouls by leaving is his feet. He should almost never have to leave his feet. He better remember this when guarding Ledee, because Ledee draws about 8.5 fouls/game on average. Having said this, I will defend Clingan in the sense that I think he gets a lot of BS calls against him, too (his 2nd foul in Omaha against Creighton). [/QUOTE]
