I thought (prior to reading this) that it was just Snaer

Guarding him up Mano y Mano. Lots more to it than that! Thanks.

Question:

Are the defensive switches at random or a response?

by Geoff33rpm on Jan 29, 2012 7:16 PM EST reply actions  

Do we switch more than most teams because our bigs are so athletic?

Or is there some other reason? Or do we not really switch more often than most other teams?

FSU doesn't switch an unusual amount,

but often do it in the middle of possessions, which is rare. Having several players who have been in the system for 3-4 years makes that possible.

Thanks Michael.

I was wondering what advantage having so many seniors was going to be this year. We are seeing some terrific wrinkles in the defense this year that are rarely seen.

Great article Michael.

Really great job demonstrating the versatility of Bernard James.
