Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 245380, member: 874"] I'm not saying they wouldn't, but I'm sure some coaches would've liked to give it a try. I'm not necessarily thinking about a pure 2-3. Maybe you play everyone man-2-man except the center so he can roam the paint for when they go to the basket. Maybe you double team off the ball sometimes. Remember too that Pippen wasn't the Pippen that everyone remembers until their first run in '90-'91. Prior to that if you handled Jordan you won, hence the "Jordan rules" defense that the Pistons developed. I'm just saying that in the NBA you can run iso stuff that you can't run in college because of the defensive restrictions. In college you have more freedom to switch defensive styles based on opponent or effectiveness within a game. Jordan was my favorite player and I don't think anyone could defend him, but it would've been interesting to see the chess match with less regulation. [/QUOTE]
