How is this not good defense by B2?

The NCAA women's rule doesn't apply to baseline drives anyway, does it? [/B][/QUOTE]

You may be right, but I wasn't specifically questioning if a particular rules set declares how a particualr play should be called. I was questioning those who like to say a player standing under the basket is not playing good defense. When I see the play I posted my first thought is "nice defense". (I'll admit I don't see exactly 100% of them though...but I get my fair share! )

Howzabout I change the play to "A1 drives just outside the left lane line and...". Got everyone covered now, right?
