I've noticed the batted balls..Poteat and Burnham in particular

I recall in last couple games having key ones that kept a possession alive. You'd think that's basketball 101 but it's actually a teaching point you have to focus on? Or you're saying most teams wouldn't because of the drawback with transition defense..

Think about it being process oriented vs results oriented
