I don't necessarily agree but some of it's splitting hairs.  13:20 the slide comes (kennedy) before the attackman is at GLE.  The SSDM we really don't know if he could have turned the attackman or not.  The slide comes early but maybe that's what they wanted.

At 7:22 might have been the worst of them all.  We slid (#30) a looong ways  adjacent from X ... that's slam dunk goal 100% of the time.  I don't know if it's the right slide but it's a tough cover, you'd like to see the SSDM play a little better there, I think that was Aviles.

1:05 the two slide (#90) recovers pretty well here but then gets juked out of his shorts by the hitch.  The slides worked here.  Middie made a nice dodge and buried it.

The one thing about these examples is that UNC is really spaced out and no matter what the short stick defenders are on an island with really long slides.  credit to UNC.

The other comment I have is that UNC did a good job inverting against the shorties, credit to them.  #9 Kelly is listed as an attackman (19/15 on the year) and they're inverting him and then we're asking a freshman short stick to cover him.  In fact the final goal is #9 again this time against Rosa but imo it's Kennedy who sort of blows this.  He leaves Grey to jump #9, the ball carrier, and there's no switch.  How do you leave Grey?  Carolina executes a nice little slip pass off the pick back to Grey for the jump shot.  I'd like to see Rosa get over the pick there but he doesn't.  I don't think Kennedy should have doubled leaving Grey alone.
