Camron, old buddy, I must disagree on more than one level. First, how does having a defender standing within six feet of a dribbler qualify as "good defense"? Second, in a majority of cases, the defender only "gets in the ball handlers face" and really plays tight defense after A1 has picked up his dribble. Third - a loss of possession is way too harsh a penalty for "letting" someone stand six feet away from you while you are dribbling.
BTW - I'm still waiting for you to comment on point number nine.
