pro: if the opponent has holes in his defense, they will be abused, no matter where they are.
con: if the opponent has a strong defense everywhere, you don't overwhelm the opponents defense anywhere so you won't hit many shots.
I really wish I read this before my game on Tuesday!! I think this is very accurate what you are saying. I ran base in that game more as an experiment anyway, but now I wish I tried another experiment :-) My opponent, like you describe, has solid defense everywhere...and the way I felt the game went, was that my players were in one on one situations all night long, and we didn't seem to have an advantage in any of those matchups. Rather than having a specific focus that RnG or Motion Provides on the outside, or the inside focus that Look Inside or Low Post utilizes, base seemed to just put my players in individual one on matchups that seemed quite random. I will try base again at some point, but it won't be against such a well balanced, defensive team like the one I am playing in the finals right now.
