Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2506495, member: 1414"] There is no either or here. Nobody is advocating that we stop defending any area of the defensive end of the court. It's a shift in prioritization. Offenses have changed, and the emphasis is on three point shots and dunks/layups. The two point jump shot is viewed as a low yield shot, some coaches are asking players not to take them. Defenses need to change to adjust to this new reality. That means staying a little closer to your man on the perimeter at the expense of him possibly getting by you. It's no different than deploying an extra cornerback, who is going to hurt your run defense. The offenses have changed, so you need to change to stop them. We haven't. Ollie is running an NBA offense from 10-15 years ago and a defense designed to stop offenses from 10-15 years ago. [/QUOTE]
