I absolutely hated that we didn't play drop coverage with Carlton.  Yelled about it all last year.  It's one thing to hard hedge with Whaley who excels at it.   But I have to say I never remember any college team with a true shot blocking 5 playing anything but drop coverage.  You don't let them take that guy too far from the paint.

It's another area where I feel like some college coaches get caught up in trying to play with the team they wish they had, instead of the team they have.  There are damned few real centers anymore.  If you've actually got one, don't waste him.  Javonte Brown should become a guy who always plays drop coverage. Clingan as well.  As the reddit post below says "[U]it is the default defense in many ways for teams that wish to play a traditional center who has limited mobility[/U]."

Thought this was pretty good.
