The old saying goes, When you score a touchdown, act like youve been there before.A few college football players took the nonchalant approach too far when entering the end zone the last couple weekends, casually dropping the ball right before crossing the goal line. It cost Clemson and California touchdowns and should have taken six off the board for Oklahoma, too. With goal-line brain freezes seemingly spreading, some coaches are taking action to keep such case of the dropsies from becoming an outbreak.Its something that doesnt need to happen, I can tell you that, South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. Weve had a hard time getting (to the end zone). We dang sure dont want to drop it before.The madness started this season with the Gamecocks in-state rivals. Clemsons Ray-Ray McCloud cost himself a punt return TD two weeks ago against Troy when he dropped the ball a stride short of pay dirt . McCloud got chewed out by coach Dabo Swinney but was allowed to keep playing and has been a productive player since.After the play, I just told him, first of all, what a great play. What an awesome run. Tremendous, Swinney said. Now, secondly, you are going to be on SportsCenter for the rest of your life because you didnt hand the ball to the ref. How many times do I have to tell you to hand the ball to the ref?Not everybody has learned from McClouds mistake.Oklahomas Joe Mixon and Californias Vic Enwere made similar moves last Saturday. Officials did not catch Mixons and the long TD stood. Enwere lucked out in that officials ruled that no effort was made by Texas to recover his fumble. The whistle was blown and the Bears retained the ball at the 1 and ran out the clock on a victory.Enweres gaffe prompted Cal coach Sonny Dykes to implement a new rule when the team met Sunday. Cal players must hand the ball to an official after scoring.Its really a strange phenomenon, Dykes told USA Today Sports . I dont understand it. But I can assure you it wont ever happen to us again. Well get it fixed.Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said its not just near the goal line that he see players being too quick to discard the football. He still uses a message to players that he took from his former running backs coach, Jemal Singleton.He said any time a ball carrier has the ball in his hands, its a fumble unless its handed to the official, Bielema said. We had a flare-up in our first game where some guys were dropping the ball on the ground, or they were flipping the ball out. For the most part, youll see our offensive players, if theres a referee or anybody in sight, hand the ball to the official -- especially on scoring plays. Its the easiest way to take away from any type of celebration, anything along that lines.Bielema said a clip of Enweres drop will likely make its way into Arkansas film study this week to reinforce the point.Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez already has a rule in place about handing the ball back to officials on every play, mostly so the offense can move at a quick pace.We call it the Kansas City rule, Rodriguez said. I think 15 years ago, (offensive coordinator Calvin Magee) and I heard about the Chiefs doing it, making it mandatory for all their ball carriers.And what would the punishment be for breaking the Kansas City rule while cruising into the end zone?Well, the things I would like to do I cant say, Rodriguez said.These goofy goal-line giveaways are not a new phenomenon.Former Cal receiver DeSean Jackson might be patient zero when it comes to toss-back-a-touchdown disease. Hes done it twice in the NFL with two teams and also did it in a high school all-star game while front flipping into the end zone.Nobodys flub was more costly than Kaelin Clays in 2014. Instead of scoring a long touchdown for Utah, an Oregon defensive player alertly picked up the ball before it was ruled dead and returned it 99 yards for a flip-six.A word of caution before branding this apathetic approach to reaching the end zone another example of widespread millennial entitlement: Plenty of college football players are taking a traditional approach when scoring that would make low-key Hall of Famer Barry Sanders proud.I either run all the way to the end of the end zone and then celebrate, or I just dont do anything at all, Iowa State running back Mike Warren said. Thats just how I am.---AP Sports Writers Pete Iacobelli in Columbia, South Carolina; John Marshall in Tucson, Arizona; Kurt Voigt in Fayeteville, Arkansas; and Luke Meredith in Ames, Iowa, contributed to this report.---Follow Ralph D.

Authentic Custom Packers Jersey . Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season. The Magic have lurched since trading Dwight Howard four summers ago. They scored well on most of their key rebuilding moves, including the Howard trade, but they never picked high enough in the right draft to nab the tentpole superstar who would define their on-court style.In trying to microwave the rebuild, Orlando blew cap space on veterans who contributed nothing and dealt away one young core player -- Tobias Harris -- for two retreads who stayed only as long as their shouting coach benefactor. (Other young players who didnt fit Orlandos vision -- Ryan Anderson, Maurice Harkless -- were tossed away for almost literally nothing).The win-now moves got them only a little closer to pseudo-contention. Orlando is the only team to rank 16th or worse in both points scored and allowed per possession over each of the last four seasons, per NBA.com. Philadelphias old regime sees the star-less mishmash and thinks: This is why we trusted the process.In related news, that regime -- including deposed GM Sam Hinkies hand picked management team -- will be mostly gone by the end of August, league sources say. Even owners with high pain tolerance grow impatient. The Magic entered this summer with a mandate: Add defense-first veterans in their mid-20s who could lift their young core and grow under Frank Vogel -- the teams fourth head coach in 18 months, and a great accidental hire after the Vic Mackey debacle. Climb up to 45 wins, and perhaps an outside free agent will bat eyes at an intriguing team in a sunny state with no income tax.This is the longest period of time for our franchise not to be in the playoffs, said Alex Martins, the teams CEO. Our fans deserve a winning product.To rival executives, the Magic still look aimless after a frenzy of transactions sloughed away 10 of the 16 guys who logged at least 200 minutes last season. They paid a backup center, Bismack Biyombo, starter money after sniffing around a similar deal for Joakim Noah, per several league sources. In a league low on two-way wings and oversaturated with big men, Orlando swapped Victor Oladipo for Serge Ibaka -- even though they had Aaron Gordon entrenched at Ibakas position. Then they paid Jeff Green $15 million.It feels like a whole new team, Gordon told ESPN.com.I guess the rebuilding process wasnt going as well as they wanted, said Nikola Vucevic, the presumptive starting center.Magic brass know how it looks from the outside: too many guys jostling for minutes up front, and only a single proven full-time wing in Evan Fournier -- re-signed, by the way, on a knockout five-year deal. But from that chaos, the Magic hope they unearthed an identity.If Serge Ibaka werent here, Aaron Gordon would be my power forward, Vogel said. But Serge is here. Aaron is going to be playing [small forward]. We are going to put the ball in his hands a lot. Were going to use him like Paul George.That would make the Magic huge and mobile -- especially when they have Gordon, Ibaka, and Biyombo on the floor together. Those three can switch on defense, pound the glass on offense, and form a six-armed rim-protecting hydra to fix Orlandos glaring weakness. The Magic are plotting a counter-revolution. In todays small-ball NBA, we think we can beat the [expletive] out of teams in the paint, Vogel said.Gordon is stoked to stretch his skill set. Im gonna be like a third guard, he said. Ill have a much bigger ballhandling responsibility, and Im all for that.The notion of Gordon as primarily a wing is almost shocking, and a massive organizational risk. He cant shoot (yet), and he has very little NBA-level experience as a primary ball handler. Playing Gordon and Ibaka at the forward spots takes them further from the rim on defense, reducing the fear factor of their shot-blocking.Gordons limitations on offense didnt matter as much when he played power forward, with three perimeter guys around him. He grew comfortable there last season as a hoppier and less refined version of Draymond Green; he finished better at the rim, drew more free throws, zipped canny passes and cut his turnovers.There are people within the team who think that by midseason, it will be clear Orlandos best lineups feature Gordon at power forward and Ibaka at center -- sort of a problem given the $30 million per year invested in Vucevic and Biyombo.Meanwhile, groups lumping Gordon alongside two traditional bigs and Elfrid Payton, perhaps an even worse shooter than Gordon, could barf up bricks as defenses strangle the lane. With the rim walled off, the Magic have settled for a ton of midrangers and struggled to earn foul shots.We might have to win games 68-65, Vogel said, laughing.The Magic are betting that the Ibaka/Vucevic combo brings enough shooting to open the floor for Payton and Gordon -- and that sliding Oladipos minutes to Fournier and Mario Hezonja brings a major upgrade in shooting. They envision Gordon acting almost as a center at times, cutting for dunks as Ibaka and Vucevic spread the floor -- a role inversion the Magic toyed with in certain lineups last season:Orlando might end up disappointed. Ibaka and Vucevic are good shooters, not great ones. Vucevic hit a sizzling 48 percent of midrangers last season largely because teams are fine giving him those shots to clog up Orlandos driving lanes:That might change if Vucevic shoots 3s, and Vogel wants him to try -- especially from the corners.I wont put that on him if hes not comfortable, Vogel said, but I do like the idea. (Vucevic has always been cautious about venturing beyond the arc).Ibaka shoots plenty of 3s, but he dipped to 32.6 percent last season on mostly wide-open looks. Without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook to suck in defenders, Ibaka might face an uncomfortable choice: jack semi-contested 3s he cant make, or use his timid off-the-bounce game to skitter by defenders closing out on him.That shaky playmaking imperils the Ibaka-Biyombo combo, about which the Magic are giddy. That duo will menace teams on defense. But swapping out Vucevic cramps Orlandos spacing, and both Ibaka and Biyombo were among just 16 rotation players last season who averaged one or fewer assists per 36 minutes.It is hard to run a functional NBA offense with two non-passers, regardless of what position they play. Over the last nine seasons, no pair who dished so few dimes logged even 1,000 minutes together, per ESPN Stats & Information.Zoom out to 1.5 assists per 36 minutes, and the Ibaka/Steven Adams duo appears. But they mooched scraps from two of the leagues half-dozen best players. Payton runs the show in Orlando, and teams are going to duck way under picks against him until he proves he can hit open 18-footers at a rate that actually scares people:Thats a challenge, Vogel said. Im not going to hide from that. Its Elfrids third year. That has to develop into a money shot.If Payton cant get to the rim, he gives up the ball -- and transforms into a Rajon Rondo-level liability no one bothers to guard, neutering Fourniers crafty pick-and-roll game:The thicket of bigs has drawn most of the scrutiny, but the Magic are really betting just as heavy on the remaining four members of their under-25 core: Payton, Gordon, Fournier and Heezonja.dddddddddddd. With Ibaka and Biyombo playing heavy minutes, they will need more playmaking from all four -- and much better shooting from the first two. Good luck. Hezonja looked confused as a rookie; he shot a ghastly 34 percent out of the pick-and-roll, mostly on pull-up 2s, and turned the ball over on 27 percent of those plays -- the sixth-worst rate among 178 players who finished at least 50 of them, per Synergy Sports. But hes rangy and skilled, and he should grow into a quality wing with a smooth stroke.The potential playmaking void is one reason the Magic are in no rush to trade Vucevic despite the logjam, league sources say. They might need his post game, and especially his passing. Last season, Vucevic quietly morphed into one of the leagues best passing centers. He assisted on 16 percent of Orlandos hoops while on the floor, a tidy number for a big man; only five centers racked up more potential assists, per SportVU tracking data.Orlando is confident they can give everyone enough minutes. They didnt sign a fourth traditional big; if Vucevic, Biyombo, and Ibaka combine for something like 80 minutes per game -- say 30 apiece for the starters, and 20 for the backup center -- that would still leave 16 minutes for small ball with Gordon at power forward. Green is strictly a backup on a one-year deal, a fallback after Orlando cringed at three- and four-year contracts for wings like Evan Turner and Solomon Hill under the cap spike.There is even some hope Vucevic and Biyombo might share the floor for a few minutes on some nights, with Vucevic spotting up around Biyombos rolls on the rim -- and Biyombo defending quicker power forwards on the other end:We will explore that, Vogel said. It wont work against a lot of teams, but it might work against some. It didnt work against anyone when the Magic experimented with a poor mans version in the Vucevic-Dewayne Dedmon pairing. Im pessimistic it will function well enough on either end.Everyone is happy in July, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out when the games start. Orlando didnt pay Biyombo $70 million to back up Vucevic for 15 minutes a game. That would be lunacy. Vucevic is not ready to cede the starting spot, or his role as the teams alpha dog.I believe I will be the starter -- the best player on the team, and the guy who has been here the longest, Vucevic said. Im not taking anything away from Bismack. I just believe I should start.Vucevic acknowledges the cap leap has created an awkward situation in which his presumed backup earns $5 million more than he does . Do I wish I were a free agent now? Vucevic asked. Yes. But I cant do anything about it. Im happy guys are getting paid, and in the normal world, its still a lot of money. I mean, Ill never spend all that money.Rob Hennigan, the teams GM, called Vucevic shortly after the Biyombo signing to reassure him, but also declined to promise Vucevic he would remain the starter, the two men say. The Magic believe one unintended consequence of a full-on rebuild is young players walking into minutes without any competition, and then feeling entitled to those minutes going forward. The team wants everyone, including its cornerstones, to feel pressure.We have competition for minutes at every position, Hennigan told ESPN.com, ?which we view as conducive for growth.It wouldnt surprise me if the Magic tried Vucevic off the bench at some point. The league has arrived at an interesting near-consensus that post-up brutes who struggle on defense work best as reserves. They dont need studs to create shots, and first-line enemy offenses feast on them. Its feasible that Al Jefferson, Greg Monroe, Jahlil Okafor, and Vucevic all spend time as reserves. Enes Kanter is already a backup, and the Grizzlies tried to coax Zach Randolph into that role last season. Some folks in Chicago privately wished they could convince Pau Gasol to live that bench life.Vucevics shooting makes him a more adaptable player, and if the minutes-juggling upsets someone, the Magic should explore trades. They need another reliable wing to flank Fournier and Hezonja; with Jodie Meeks future unclear, they are one injury away from disaster. Its hard right now to trade bigs for wings and receive equal value -- one reason Sam Presti, the Thunder GM, was smart to flip Ibaka for Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.Shedding one big salary would also give Orlando wiggle room to upgrade in free agency over the next two summers. They will have cap space next July as long as Ibakas smallish cap hold is on the books, but things get tight -- like, luxury tax-level tight -- if they bring him back at the max, keep all their core guys, and sign one decent free agent.The money crunch hits every team that spends a half-decade in the lottery. Great prospects get expensive once their rookie deals expire; you eventually have to shed someone. Utah is staring down this dilemma, and the Magic have already addressed it by dealing Harris, Harkless, and Oladipo -- with the latter up for a mega-extension, and (for now) seeking the maximum salary, sources say.Going from bad to good is hard without a top-15 player. The Magic have mostly drafted well, and trades involving Howard and Fournier -- controversial at first -- bore fruit with time. They were the first team hot on Kristaps Porzingis, a potential foundational star, and missed him by a single pick.If theres a fair criticism, its that Orlando, for whatever reason, hasnt leveraged its cap space and second-tier assets as well as teams like Boston, Houston and others did during their rebuilds. When youre lifting yourself from the muck, you have to make every asset count. Boston magicked Isaiah Thomas from nothing by using every tool -- roster spots, trade exceptions, the desperation of rivals -- to net extra goodies. Thomas lured Al Horford, and the Celtics are poised for another salvo.After all that hoarding, Boston is having trouble slicing its roster to 15 players. Again: You have to shed at some point, especially when you plop a bunch of veterans atop your young core. But the Magic in too many cases sold low and early. Meanwhile, they overreached on contracts that became sunk costs; D.J. Augustins four-year, $29 million deal might join C.J. Watsons contract in that pile.They are still due one first-rounder from the Lakers, but unless they make Gordon available at some point, they dont quite have the goods to compete in an auction for a disgruntled star.Still: This is a solid team that should hit a baseline improvement just through maturation and coaching. That growth may include a more wrenching trial-and-error process than higher-ups expect, one that could result in major roster churn. To rise from the middle over the next two-plus years, Orlando will need either a mega-leap from one young player or an injection of outside talent -- and maybe both.That is the hard reality for at least two-thirds of the league. The Magic rebuild didnt conjure a superstar, and management decided it was time to get daring. Now they just have to sort it all out. ' ' '
