AUBURN, Ala. - Anfernee McLemore's thirst for knowledge extends beyond the classroom, showing up on the grade sheet and the stat sheet.
While representing Auburn at the SEC's leadership conference in July, McLemore listened carefully when basketball referees discussed points of emphasis when calling fouls.
"The refs told me that if you jump straight up with two hands in the air, they won't call a foul even if you make contact, so that's what I've been doing," said McLemore, who leads the SEC with 3.4 blocks per game. I've been trying to contest every shot and just jump straight up, and they won't call fouls.
