Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1693629, member: 780"] False premise. When a guard blows past a defender, they aren't going to pull up and shoot a 16 footer. They are going to continue into the paint and either dish to a Big or go to the hoop. And in their case, as opposed to our TC, they will usually make the lay up and get fouled in the process. And these guards don't have to dribble around our defender. They just run by them and get a pass as they are heading to the basket. The higher you extend any defense, the poorer the spacing. The closer you play someone up top, the more you leave yourself open to a drive. Even Cooney gets to drive to the basket. And it's not because he is super quick. It's because they play him so tightly, so far from the hoop. This is fundamental, basic, rudimentary basketball. [/QUOTE]
