Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3062023, member: 8636"] I would contend that there is no answer. The reason I am always pushing for us to penetrate more is because there is no answer to dribble drive, dish. The defense has to slide over and help against the drive, automatically leaving someone open. Maybe an answer is to just stop the penetration one-on-one, requiring no help. Very hard to do. IMO not a strength of UConn. Another answer is to give no help, staying with your man and whatever happens with the drive happens and shooters are not left open. You could also develop some funky rotations defensively, which I think the pros do a lot. When I coached HS, we would spend an hour on straight up D, help, and close out on shooters. Over and over.
