anybody coach effort great guard instead playing practice start telling
We've been telling coach we want to start playing more man-to-man. He told us that if we give great effort in practice that he'd try it. Now we can guard anybody instead of going 2-3 (zone) all game.

They get after it. They pick you up full court, and their guards gamble in the passing lanes. That's how they get steals.
