Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 5263484, member: 11108"] Tarris is the key to the team achieving its goals. Hopefully, our defensive scheme enables him to stay on the court and not be on the bench with fouls. He also needs to be self aware and be coach up too about avoiding silly fouls. He must play differently now than when he was a rotation guy, who can pick up more fouls a minute played. Now he needs to take the long view. As for defensive scheme so often a Big’s foul is a result of not being between his man and the basket or in a non value added switch for the sake of switching where scheme was weighted more than fundamental position. A center’s goal should not be to steal the ball from a guard 25 feet from the basket. He needs to protect the rim and own the paint. [/QUOTE]
