Caleb McConnell falling down

[RUSONIC]

I notice in games that Caleb falls down a lot. Especially in the early part of games he tends to slip and fall, outside of a law suit in Walmart someday,why is this happening? Talking about not living up to hype...see Caleb McConnell.

Leg strength or lack there of

Yeah, the guy hitting 40% of his three-pointers. He's the problem.

Not living up to hype? Are you dense?

Caleb is an interesting player. Not sure what the significance is of his falling down (maybe his length gets him tripped/fouled whenever he gets a step past his man in the paint), but he does have the distinction of being the first RU player to get T’d up for flexing and the first player I’ve EVER seen get called for the dreaded Body Cylinder defense.

Did Tim Higgins come out of retirement to make the Body Cylinder call? If it wasn’t a key juncture of the game, probably not Higgins.

In pickup games we call our own fouls. Anybody tries to D me up too close I’m calling Body Cylinder on their ***.

Yeah I hate how Caleb dives for loose balls and gets elbowed in the face for getting in someone's grill. Much prefer guys who always stay upright and give minimal effort.

What correlation is there between getting crossed up and living up to the hype? You’re losing me boss

lack of discipline in movement... keeping your legs under you, keeping low and balanced... it takes practice and leg strength you develop.. late in games with a lot of minutes and extra effort.. I am not concerned.. early in games? that's an issue.

That cylinder call was a Bulls**t call. Caleb was fighting thru the pick and got elbowed in the face.

I probably haven’t been following long enough to chronicle the history of stupid threads, but this has to be right up there.

It is hard to control the physical make up Caleb has. Very tall, long dangly arms. We don't get it when we are watching on our couch, but the leg strength and core strength is seemingly important.

Caleb is still the best outside shooter on the team and he was barley off on his 3's the other night. Also wouldn't it be a telling sign that the second he came out in the 1st and 2nd half the team fell apart? Caleb's versatility and spacing allow the O and D to do so much more than a Young or Mulchay (at this point) can do
