Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 4010261, member: 7953"] I understand the concept. But think the idea of playing all 3 of them together for more than a short period of time isn't realistic for a few reasons. 1 -- If the high low is a focus you are ignoring two of the greatest midrange shooters in UConn's history. 2 -- The high post defender sags into the middle cutting off passes and giving liv open shots all day. Liv Shooting 17 footers is defensive coaches dream. (any combination of NM, PB, , CW, EW, DJ, AE and Liv, Liv is my least desired shooter form 17 and out) 3 -- It doesn't take into consideration the defensive aspect of matching up against smaller quicker players. 4 -- According to current knowledge it doesn't provide a viable substitution pattern without a substantial drop off in production. While it is an interesting concept in a vacuum, I don't think it is practical for this UConn team. The only way I would want to set up high/low is off screens to wings. Let Aaliyah come up to set a screen for Paige/Azzi and then back door the defender cut to the hoop. Once successful, that forces Aaliyah's defender to play the screens straight up allowing for either a shooter cut off the screen getting the ball from Liv or a pick and roll with the shooter. [/QUOTE]
