So, for example, the person setting the pick is on the ball side block. The defender is defending his man on the opposite block.
If the defender defends by standing between his man and the ball, then this pick is set clearly from the side, and he can see it coming.
However, if the defender purposely faces his man with his back to the other player setting the pick, does this simple change in defense force the offensive player to give him more space on the pick?
