[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1261753, member: 603998"] The pack line was designed as an alternative to an "on the line, up the line" deny defense. It's purpose is to compensate for a lack of high quality athletes by keeping them more packed in, and thus less susceptible to being dominated defensively by superior offensive athletes. The counter point is that if you help on drives from one pass away you are very susceptible to kickout 3s. Sound familiar? Players who can play well in deny defenses can also play well in the pack lines, like the guys at Virginia. They could all play in both. However, pack line guys can't go the other way as easily. You seem to want to play a more aggressive defense without the personnel. Or your concept of the packline is reversed. For our personnel and lack of overall athleticism we are playing the right defensive system. [/QUOTE]
