Since you are so smart, why don't you explain to us why switching on defense requires more depth?

First, you point out where someone other than Nichi said that.

I'll even help you out:

I am blahblahblah. I just saw some of Sparky's replies and had to comment.

What I recall this year is they started out switching, not pressuring and trapping. But I am old and the years blend together /s

This year's team actually started out with the depth to press a lot more. Then Goode broke his foot,  Melendez hurt his shoulder, and Clark left the team.

Then he got called out by someone else because Goode broke his foot during the preseason. To cover his tracks, he started saying that he was referring to the switching defense, even though he was talking about needing depth to press.

At no point did anyone else say depth was needed for the switching defense. Nichi is playing that game to conceal his idiocy about when the Goode injury happened.

Nichi claims a guard with a 1.3 assist-to-TO ratio is a good passer.

Because I never said that. I just copied the quote down where Nichi implied they would have pressured more often if they had more depth. But he said that decision happened after the start of the year, even though Goode got hurt before the start of the year.

I remember exactly what I posted. As just stated, all of that was in regard to Nichi's erroneous statement that the team would have pressured more, but had lost depth after the start of the year. Goode got hurt during the preseason. This has been pointed out several times already.

Try more reading and less dumbfuckery.

Practice what you preach, idiot. Your own words. You did say switching required more depth.

Also, given that I am certain the latest cockpuppet will continue this indefinitely:

It's erroneous to assume that you don't need depth for a switching defense, despite what Nichi recalls about watching George Mikan play.

https://www.rookieroad.com/basketball/coaching/switch/#:~:text=Cons%20of%20Switching,-Even%20if%20the%20idea%20of

The site doesn't allow direct cut-and-paste, but one of the cons of switching is you need players who can match up with the opponent. This is covered in the section I link to here.

It isn't just about players getting tired, despite what dimwits like Nichi want to believe. You need people who can execute the maneuvers. And as I'm sure all the experts here already know, fresh defenders are a great thing to have if you're going to be chasing players off screens.

I'm sure we'll continue to go around in this circle, so I'll keep helping out the morons as needed.

You cut off the part about having more depth to press. Just scroll up the page to see it.

Again, Nichi is caught in a lie. He keeps trying to edit his posts, and he keeps getting caught.

Face it, old man: You're not shrewd enough to be deceptive. Now eat your prunes and wait for someone to dress you for bed. But stop creating falsehoods that are easily disproved.

Maybe this will help
'This year's team actually started out with the depth to press a lot more, until the exhibition game. Then Goode broke his foot,  Melendez hurt his shoulder, and Clark left the team.'

But I highly doubt it.

That link does not help your case. At all. Switching actually helps players stay on the court longer.

Yeah, I stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt multiple lies and edits ago. This is Nichi's game. Has been for years.

Must not be yours, either, given that the part in bold is clearly a clarification to Nichi's post. You know, the part you and he both want to ignore and hope that no one notices.

Also, I'm not really interested in debating a cockpuppet who clearly wants to distort things. So you can chill any time now. If I have to put you on ignore, then that's fine. But I'll simply intensify the responses to the senile liar who created all of this.

This looks like an apt reply

No. A switching man defense does not require more depth than pressure defense. That is idiotic. That might be the densest thing you have posted yet. Maybe you confused depth with versatility? The sad thing is you don't even know you are stupid.

Makes sense to me.

I never once said they changed the defense because of injuries. That was a misread.  The decision to scrap switching as the primary defense this season had nothing to do with injuries. They still used it some. They did some switching against PSU.

They scrapped pressure at the primary defense in 2020. Obviously, the injury to Goode had nothing to do with that. (: They still pressed quite a bit this past season to overcome deficits. Such as the 2nd half at Purdue.
