Message: [QUOTE="OrangeinDC, post: 5591001, member: 921"] So many teams play traditional "deny penetration of the middle", so they may sit a foot or two back to stop getting beat. The more aggressive teams attack the ball handler, make him make a decision, force him to attack, pass or turn it over. It puts a lot of responsibility on the off-ball defenders to stay disciplined, the reward are the turnovers. Watching the games tonight, the latter is us now. It drove me crazy last year watching players go under screens and get beat, go over the screens, get beat. Watching the way these guys switch, hedge and attack the ball handler. Majority of teams are not comfortable with this, especially star players that are used to sizing up the defender and doing 4 one-on-one moves. [/QUOTE]
