How Many Suicide Sprints Did Georgia Tech Coach Paul Hewitt Make This Kid Run Yesterday?


If you tuned in and watched the 2nd best team in the ACC play their conference home opener against Georgia Tech, then you were def. in for a treat. The Clemson Tigers have now extended their record to 16-0 this year with wins over Minnesota, South Carolina, Miss. State, Georgia, Florida State, and Georgia Tech.

The kid in the picture above is Javaris Crittenton , freshman point guard for Georgia Tech. If you look closely at the final play below with James Mayes taking it straight to the hole, Javaris Crittenton was set up perfectly on the right block to take a charge. In fact, his body and feet were set on the block for so long, I feel like if he would have hung in there and taken a charge, the lead official below the basket would have been forced to call the charge!
If you talk to unrealistic Clemson fan Jeff Parks, he'll tell you that Mayes just did a great job adjusting his angle to the basket and sneaked by Crittenton. If you talk to me, I believe that Crittenton was set correctly and then at the last second moved out of the way! Either he didn't want a 6'9 225 freight train colliding into him or either he was scared to get called for the block! Another question I have for today's readers, if Crittenton would have hung in there and taken the contact, would he have achieved the charge call against Mayes?
