Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 1190400, member: 724"] Cooney is a good defender and he does not get beat off the dribble consistently. Does Cooney get beat sometimes? Yes. So does everybody who has ever played basketball; its an offensive sport and you are not going to shut your guy down every time. Next time Syracuse plays, really watch Cooney; he's got good size, and he is extremely active and disruptive. Keep in mind that sometimes (and definitely against Carleton who had great shooters who were not overly athletic) its the game plan for our guards to get right into shooters faces and dare them to drive the ball into the teeth of our zone. Cooney is actually one of the most active players Syracuse has ever had; he moves constantly on both offense and defense. Last year he ran about three times as far as any other player on the team during games. [/QUOTE]
