It's sort of undeniable it would make a difference.  You certainly change the complexion of the game - maybe it goes further South on us...but it changes it.  :)

The point would be the same as pressing - short spurt to change it up.  They may even score on the possessions - but that's not all that damaging.  It's about getting Guy to try to take Battle off the bounce, Jerome smirking his way through some dribbling display before having to shoot slightly off-balance, or Hunter attacking MD or OB (and getting elbowed in the FACE!) and seeing what transpires.  It's about maybe getting someone to take a shot they're less comfortable with - or just about going one-on-one and maybe our players come away more engaged.

I feel like the response to going M2M all seem to argue against it in it's totality - as if the switch would be for 48% of the game.  If you use it, it's just to throw your guys out there and tell them to fight because they're getting killed in the zone.  Dirty the game up and let's see if we get them to take a couple stupid shots (UVA likely doesn't), or at least break the rhythm up by having them start to take different shots...threes off the bounce, etc...otherwise, we're just hoping their arms get tired during target practice.    And they may, it's certainly happened before many times, so, as always, I remain slightly conflicted overall on the value of switching
