We have no answer for Cumberland making it more likely we should look at playing him even after 2 fouls as long as they aren't super early in the first half. You have to try to max his minutes and let him know he needs to watch the fouls out there and let him play. Let the chips fall. If he proves he cannot keep it in check then maybe revisit.
Agree fully, although the lack of 1 foul data might suggest there would be too many data points to even try to figure out.
