Michigan Basketball: No answer for the low post nightmares
Juwan Howard is sticking to his guns with his defensive philosophy for Michigan basketball, meaning the man in the post is left on an island.
It doesn’t take a basketball savant to understand what plagues the Wolverines defensively. Michigan Basketball‘s big man is left to his own devices in the paint, which occasionally results in career-high scoring nights for opposing centers and forwards.
And even when the system of sacrificing the two-pointer doesn’t seem to be working – as witnessed at Williams Arena in Minneapolis – Juwan doesn’t adjust. Howard believes the responsibility of defending the hoop is up to the individual, not the team.
