We\u2019re fouling because they\u2019re getting the ball so deep. The post fouls, they\u2019re just getting it deep and they\u2019re using their strength and size. We\u2019re going to have to not allow the ball to get deep. We\u2019re going to have to figure that out. At the beginning of the year, I thought we guarded with great intensity and we kept the ball out of the paint. We\u2019re not doing as good of a job now at keeping the ball out of the paint. If it gets down there, we\u2019re toast.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
