Re: Defense

In the early planning stages, it's easy to fall in love with scoring and hard to see the value in defense. However, I think it's fair to say that more shots will be missed than made. If you develop a strong ball collector, you can rebound up to 3 balls from the floor, retreat to the alley, and send all 3 balls over to your partners. Such a bot would be valuable to a good alliance.

I know our team rejected the defensive strategy IMMEDIATELY because they found it unsuccessful last year. Apples and Oranges. Remember, "Offense sells tickets, but Defense wins Championships". Heard that on ESPN somewhere. Good luck to all this year.
