Well, if he goes after the ball and doesn't get it, he then loses his man. I'm guessing protocol in that situation is to stay in front of your man.
Seriously though, with all the swiss cheese defense we've seen out of this team, I can't believe anyone is pointing the finger at Baby D. because his man got off a shot put type of shot off 40 feet and right of the basket while his momentum was taking him right. And also close enough that we still can't say definitively whether the shot beat the shot clock. It's this simple though, there was more a chance of Baby D getting called for a phantom foul than that shot going in.
