DPS Cpl. Andy Clary doesn't help student athletes out when they're in trouble. He's there to prevent the trouble.

Andy Clary watches from behind the basket as Syracuse basketball star Kris Joseph launches a 3-pointer on the practice court of the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.

The shot bounces off the rim, not exactly the swoosh that Joseph intended. Clary smiles and says, "Oh boy," in a jokingly disappointed tone. But Clary is not a graduate assistant or a Syracuse basketball official -- he is a cop.
