Luka's Eyes Are a Weapon: How He Manipulates Defenders to Create Open Threes
Keep the session moving with another watch from the same channel.
Coach Larry addresses the backlash to his defensive clip perfectly here, and I completely agree with his logic. Getting crossed up isn't a failure, it's the point.
The critics are treating this like a one-on-one game in a vacuum. It's not. When you change a ball handler's direction, you're steering him toward your help defense, killing his dribble, and forcing a decision he doesn't want to make.
That's not bad defense. That's the whole scheme working exactly as designed. #shorts
