Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 4095010, member: 5429"] Asking the C to cover the corner 3 was STOOOOPID then, and it is STOOOOOPID now. We used to have long, athletic forwards who could make the rotations needed to help up towards the backcourt, yet still be quick and long enough to contest the corner 3 also. Now we have 4 trees, rooted into the hardwood, and Jesse is being asked to pick up all the slack. It's really bizarre that you're choosing to die on this hill. Not every last thing JB does is the best possible or entirely correct strategy. He's fallible, just like any other person or coach. Did AO cover the corner 3? RickJack? Fab? Rak? No, no, no, and no. We kept our BIG man in the middle, where he could protect the rim. And rebound. Rather than sending him scurrying out to the corner, flying out of bounds, and completely gutting our D and opening up the hoop for O-Rebs and easy putbacks. [/QUOTE]
