Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2970841, member: 780"] How would switching to a defense that the opponent sees 95% of the time, that they play themselves and that they practice against take them out of their comfort zone??? Instead, this switch is guaranteed to put them into their comfort zone. The only confusion that might occur would be which of the 30 or 40 things they are prepared to run against M2M might they try first. Once the PG sees the defense and calls the play, they are pretty much on auto pilot. This idea about switching to M2M I think of as the “Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch” strategy. “At least you tried” sounds more like a frustrated fan yelling “Do something! Do something different!” at the television than it does an actual intelligent strategy. The idea isn’t to relieve your panic, it’s to win basketball games. In football, it’s “Put in the back-up QB”.
