re: Basketball guys, what does Reid need?

I know last night refs were trigger happy but this is like 5 games in a row he’s either fouled out or got to early foul trouble.

Hell, 2 games ago he got his second foul at the 17:28 mark of the first half. That's before the first TV TO at 16:00 or so.
That said, they were ticky tack and he's getting a lot of those. Hands straight up and not jumping but getting some of the body whether it's him or the other guy initiating the contact. He's 7'tall. He's gonna get those fouls near every time.
Correct me here if I'm wrong but I don't seem to see him getting fouls on switches when he gets away from the basket.
Look - he's a freshman who hasn't done much to establish himself so he's mostly thinking not playing.
We've just got to let the coaches do their thing. I believe when the light comes on, he'll be everything we hoped for. (just hope it pops in the next 6 weeks though!)
