Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4097705, member: 8636"] Super counter points! As a player and a coach of players, I would argue vehemently, that the hardest thing to do on the basketball floor defensively is to guard a skilled, athletic ball-handler. Not covering a cutter. Not pressuring a high post player. The only way IMO that you can be correct is if your team is skilled, precise, disciplined in SCREENING and players know how to use screens. That's a 400-level course. Dribble drive-kick is entry-level 101. Go to any top-notch playground in America (or world now- watch 3 minutes of a Maverick game with Luka) and watch the players dribble drive. You can't come to UConn and not be able to bust somebody off the dribble. Did you see the clips of Azzi? If she ends up nothing but a spot-up shooter, I'm going to be disappointed. She can break ankles. [/QUOTE]
