Maybe you don't believe the philosophy because you don't fully understand the philosophy?

If a play starts in the T's primary, the T takes the dribbler and the primary defender all the way to the basket. Any secondary defenders are the responsiblity of the L (or possibly C). This way the T will watch the defense for the entire play, and the L will not have to pick up the primary defender late. Also, since the L (or C) has the secondary defenders that are already in their primary, the T will not have to pick them late in the play either.
