Yes, he does get beat at times on the low post BUT so do post players from all teams. The thing to watch is how much help he gets from his weak side team mates. Answer...when Weatherspoon is in the game none. Other than Lauf, who does step in, even taking a number of charges, there is no help or defensive rotation. It has been that way for our post players over the past three seasons. The defensive break downs are a team thing. They don't fall on the shoulders of one or two players. It looks like the team is playing some kind "fake help defense." The result of this lack of help causes Boothe and Garber to reach or be out of position more. The officials are not targeting Boothe. All officiating crews can't be looking to create problems for him. My experience
hopis that most officials try to call an honest game. There are always calls made that all of us wonder about when it is called against our teams. The rule I have always followed is that after a game, if the officials were not
noticeable or

memorable, then they called a great game.

Blade discussed that Boothe would not get help with Okafur because of his great passing. The two doubles I remember resulted in assists for Okafur.

I read that too. I can see both sides of that strategy.
However, there hasn't been any weak side help for our big guys on defense in games over the past three years. Like I said, Lauf is the only one who steps in to help inside.
Watch our defense inside. You will see what I am talking about.

I think a lot of this stems from the concern of perimeter
coverage and lack of recovery speed. Everyone is worried the last 2 years about other teams shooting 3's. Pick your poison.

Plus J D still seems completely flummoxed on D at times.
