Message: [QUOTE="cp176, post: 5175230, member: 13278"] Any well run man to man has to have a philosophy. I’m sure that we have one but quite honestly it is hard for me to figure out. It is about denying floor space for any offense to operate. I like fanning to the sideline but never giving up two things - baseline and allowing a penetrator to get back to the basket line. I hate to see the drop step that allows a ball handler to go wherever they want to go.Obviously you aren’t going to be able to get it done all the time and when you get beat your have to rotate and cover down effectively. I’ll say again too that when Mahaney is on the floor guarding someone who takes him right to the block, expecting him to defend bigger stronger people is unrealistic. [/QUOTE]
