The game of basketball is in large part currently defined by the pick and roll.A team’s success is often determined by either how well they execute the pick and roll or how well they defend it.Wake Forest is no different, and it has been interesting to see the progression of this year’s team and their proficiency in defending this core concept of offensive basketball.
Every coach must make a choice regarding how he or she will defend the pick and roll. In order to have a better feel for the choices that Coach Manning is making it may be a good idea to discuss the different philosophies and why or why not they are a good fit for this Wake Forest team.
