Rotation speed is a decision problem wearing a tracksuit

Count ball screens defended, not minutes played

Your pick and roll data is full of handoffs

A stop with four seconds left is not the same stop

Defenses are still guarding who you were last season

Some players should shoot the shot the defense wants

Setting screens is the quietest contact sport on the floor

Zone is a ball screen coverage now, not a surrender

The referee decides your coverage more than the scout does

The weak side picks the coverage before the ball does

Draft models cannot see a guard fight through a screen

Every blitz is a rebound you agreed to give up

The best screen defense happens before the screen

Refusing the screen is the most underused counter in the game

Whoever got back is the coverage you are playing

Rim protection numbers punish bigs for their coach's choices

The backup big decides which coverages you can call
