Good post.

I hate argument #2 for various reasons though.  M2M isn't always going to be about that (results) in the way some people clamor about it.  The goal isn't necessarily for us to unleash shock and awe and shut teams down...it's just to change up the complexion of the game, the tempo, whatever.

Also, I watch Florida State switch and have somebody who in 1,000,000 years of trying could not guard Ja Morant out on the perimeter guarding him - it's a laughable exercise in futility, laughable!

I just sat on my couch and laughed when the switch happened (not literally), but help defense shows up, and turnovers resulted quite a bit...M2M is always going to be about the well-coached team finding the best match-up and exploiting it.  It doesn't mean the other teams scores 100% of the time because they can locate it though.   That's sort of the same argument made over and over again against playing M2M, "look, we can't play M2M, even Cincy can't play M2M against Iowa, and they do it all the time!"  The sky would fall.  Would it?

If Buddy is so sad that he couldn't play a couple possessions of M2M because teams would screen and make him switch, and he'd fall to pieces, then the Coach should really be feeling bad that he played a kid like that 39 minutes in a NCAAT game.  Buddy would survive.  We all would.  :)
