It’s not a movie tGreenway, it’s real life. That’s a documentary I posted. Picket fence baby. It’s in all the playbooks.

Question regarding MSU's defensive strategy this year. Am I crazy or they switching on D more than in the past? Especially on the high ball screens. I seem to recall we never switched on D, the defender had to fight through the screen, either over or under. MSU always went over to prevent the 3 and would help down low on a dribble drive.

Now we seem to switch on the high ball screen much more. Which a lot of teams do. Just don't recall us doing it in the past with Izzo's strict manball principles.

I don't think it's anything different. The primary option is for the big to hedge/show until the primary defender can recover but there are instances where a switch is unavoidable. I definitely did notice a few switches last night but I don't think it was anything out of the ordinary.

I think the general trend in NBA defenses over the past decade has been a lot more switching, and some of that has reached the college game as well. I don't know about this year vs last year, but this year vs 2010 I would pretty much guarantee we switch more now.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2021-01-06, 13:28

NBA switches 1-5. If you can't switch you pretty much can't play in today's NBA.

Plus 2 more?

13 of 15 players have now had Covid. We should have just all had a Covid party in March like the true patriots wanted us to.

If coach needs me, I’m ready to go. Haven’t touched a basketball since 10th grade, but I’ve got five fouls to donate to the Spartan cause. #caveball
