Is it? If I intentionally go after (and score/feed) the far-side balls before my own, I'd consider that defensive. Offensive as well, but certainly a strategy deliberately aimed at reducing the opposing alliance's score (in addition to increasing my own). If I block opposing inbounder throws and thereby starve a team (sorry, 2016), isn't that defense, even if I'm also massing balls on my scoring side? Or if not "defense", certainly deliberately affecting the opposing score. (I define this as defense; not that others must.)
