In response to T.P.F.K.A.D.W.

Our defensive strategy has shifted from last year. Not just personnel but strategy. Last year we soft hedged alll the ball screens and encouraged guards to come over the top and take 2 pt shots. The problem is we ended up giving up a lot more than just a contested two point shot. This year we are hard hedging most ball screens and also switching almost every screen who is a shooter. Thatâ€™s because the coaches feel like AJ and Max (who lost 15 pounds and got a lot quicker) can stay in front of people better than we could last year.

Whether all that is true or not will take some time to figure out but the strategy is very different.
