Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4385180, member: 730"] The Boston Celtics of the 60's had a very effective defensive strategy; force opposing guards to drive down the middle of the lane where Russell would destroy them. Russell didn't play for the Huskies so the UConn defense switched on all screens, passing opposing ball handlers from player to player. It was/is very effective in stopping drives off screens but when your roster is down 3 guards it becomes problematic. I think of last season (up until the BET) as a nightmare. I don't dwell on bad dreams. My mother taught me that if I just turn my pillow over I could safely go back to sleep and forget the nightmare. It worked every time. :D [/QUOTE]
