Why are we switching so much?

they aren't a prolific outside team just fight over it and let them take jumpers....

...instead they get mismatches inside and are punishing us for it.

Our guards not helping out on switching defense. AL getting lay ups. Why won't Cal at least try a zone for a bit just to switch things up?

It is ridiculous that Bam never switches back down to the interior. He just stays out on the guard or halfway goes in between, doing absolutely nothing.

Helping on defense doesn't mean leave your man wide open underneath.

Fox and Willis on back to back plays leave a guy wide open underneath for a dunk. We breakdown way too easy.

Willis is doing the right thing by rotating, Bam is not. When Bama runs that Pick and Roll, Bam MUST switch back after the hedge, he is SLLLOOOWWWW in doing it, some times he doesn't even look to go back at all.

It's KILLING our interior defense!!

I would pay ah a lot of money if UK would stop switching on defesne. It's idiotic and doesn't work.

How many damn dunks and layups do they plan to give Bama?

Bama has 28 points in the paint. 12 points actually shooting the ball. Come the hell on

We ought to try some zone to break up the momentum. Get Ala shooting from the outside. Bam can't switch out on a guard. Ever. Seriously.

Also, Willis is awful at rotating on D. He's always two steps late.

Offense picking back up, but defense slacking off. About due for a good 5 minute run where both are clicking and we open up the lead.

And, again Bam gets lost switching.

Dumbest defensive player I have ever seen. No idea why Cal continues to tolerate it.
What do you suggest at this point...benching him? I mean there's stupid, there there's sticking your head in a blender stupid.

We had 2 games where our rotation was better, back to where we were 2 weeks ago...partly because Avery Johnson isn't a fool. Just not sure why we aren't packing it in and making them hit jumpers.
