If a blind pick is set on one of our defensive players, there has to be a switch. To play good pressure defense, you have to use the switch. Sometimes it does create a mismatch, but not often enough to hurt you. The benefit of the switch is that it gives you a chance to maintain sound pressure defense more than any other method of playing screening situations. We do not trap a great deal.
Traps are over commitments by two players for a defense on the ball.
The odds are not very good when the defense sets a trap. We do not look to set traps very often. We are going to set traps only when we feel that the advantages are in favor of our defense. For instance, we trap when the offensive person can't see the player moving up for the trap. The offense may be out of control or careless, and then we set a trap.
