I agree, Samson needs to learn to play from the inside out. His current game is from the outside in. That explains his step behind the play fouls.  Boxing out also assumes he starts the play in the preferred position, but so often Samson’s guy unfortunately is the one in position to do that. It is hard to box out a guy who’s starting point is being closer to the basket. True, much of this goes back to high hedging, something you can do at URI when most games you are not going against  a good Big Man. 
Danny has said that good big men are the primary difference between UConn’s level and URI’s  level. The one resulting adjustment that still needs to be made  is stop having    6-10  235pd guys stop trying to chase 6-1 point guards 23 feet from the basket - the risk /reward is just not there.  Foul problems is often the result either 23 feet from the basket or being a step behind recovering to the post and being inherently out of position on post defense or rebounding.
