With David Fizdale at the helm, the New York Knicks oscillated between defensive coverages. But in the 11 games under interim head coach Mike Miller, the team is keeping things simple.
“We’re not overcomplicating anything” Julius Randle said via SNY. “We’re doing a good job of sticking to our coverages and just executing our coverages, being disciplined in that, not overcomplicating things and I think we’re rebounding well.”
Fizdale employed a switch-heavy defensive scheme that is widely used around the NBA, but the team was never able to develop a consistent defensive identity.
