It is "possible to triple team someone when they have the ball and still be able to cover all 5 players when that one person doesn't have the ball." Canyon simply doubled-downed it's strong-side guard and brought the weak-side helper as the third defender. Personally, however, I believe your question has merit because we may have forced passes and did not test Canyon's "help and recover/help the helper defense." Without a doubt, Canyon proved to be the better team. I just don't believe Canyon's players are 30 points better than BH's players. Credit goes to Canyon's fundamental defense and BH's turnovers for BH's limited shots per quarter. I totally agree with all of your comments Hoopster. Old School's assertion that it is possible to double/triple down on the post and still recover to effectively defend the perimeter etc. is true, it is not probable do it consistantly against a good outside shooting team like BH.
