Danny and staff (who I love) why for years do our 4s and 5s play man to man 40 feet from the basket. I’m sorry but no one here can make a case for this.
We lose rim protection covering guys who don’t want to and can’t shoot from three point line anyway. We give up stupid fouls by our bigs in years past! Most importantly our team is constantly chasing and closing out and recovering on def. Off screens. We often end up with a mismatch and/or unbalanced defense on a shot. next game watch and tell me this isn’t just silly.
You want to beat us. High screens on the ball with a guard and a big and eventually you get a mismatch. There is zero reason to cover a 5 with Sanango 60 feet from the basket.
I know we are a good rebounding team and lead in blocked shots and in general I love our defense and our intensity on that end but take our bigs off the ball so far away from the basket and we give up less 3s and we get more balanced on defense and give up less silly fouls (ie polly last year).
It may seem like a minor issue to most but I bet it changes our w/l line for sure .. just my opinion and I know the game .
