Bradshaw stood beside OSU's David Monds and Mario Boggan when Ramar Smith's attempt went up, and, what the hell, let's do a multiple-choice question.
Who should get the rebound?
A) The 6-8, 240-pounder with two good arms.
B) The 6-7, 240-pounder with two good arms.
C) The 6-4, 205-pounder with no good arms.
The answer, clearly, is C.
Under most circumstances, it wouldn't be. But if C is Bradshaw and the game is in the balance, always go with C because betting against him would be stupid, and it would make you like most college coaches who saw a slow-footed, relatively non-athletic point guard coming out of high school and immediately decided he'd never be a factor at the Division I level.
