Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 2943456, member: 920"] The pick and roll, when run properly, is one of the simplest, yet hardest plays to defend in basketball. There's a reason every single pro team runs it. We got caught in between too many times. Guys hedged out, but didn't pressure and trap making that pass much more difficult, and then they didn't get back to the paint quick enough and didn't get any help from guys rotating. We'll struggle with it for awhile because our two bigs aren't particularly athletic. Zona killed us in the paint. Their guards outplayed ours. They finished some very tough shots and distributed, to get their bigs a lot of easy looks. Lots to learn on the tape for our team. I trust Hurley to fix this through both coaching and recruiting.
