I’m not sure how Red wants to play his defense. His guards should force the lead guard to one side of the floor so they create a weak side for defensive help.  Don’t allow them to penetrate in the middle of the floor because it doesn‘t create a weak side.  Some coaches try to keep the ball on one side and deny ball reversal.  I didn’t see many players “helping the helper.”  Rotations are still being developed, but Red has to have some basic rules to his defense.  I’m sure he does.  I’m going to try and focus tonight on our defensive awareness.  It’s really important that the guy playing the ball stays in front and forces his player to one side of the court.  If we constantly have to help each other, shooters will be open.  It would be nice if they could funnel all drivers to McCloud. It’s funny that we all practically know all the in and outs of our zone defense. Now we have to learn how Red wants to play his man defense. Coaches have different philosophies about how they want their defense to be played.
