Watching channel "D".
There seems to be a preoccupation with channeling D and zone defense so that players have to be introduced to their oppostion by telephone in girls basketball.
Skilled, threatening defense, in your face and nasty seems to have gone out of fashion and even ineffectual zones are thought to be the better option.
Over the past few months I've seen zones that were threeed to extinction and worse, ones that yieded to drive after drive yet the coaches maintained it.
Just why the escort service called channeling has so beguilded the coaching fraternity Im not sure but it destroys the naturally gifted player from exhibiting their defensive skills and surely must be only part of defensive strategy not all of it?.
