Yes, he WAS referring to breaking the plane of the defense. Has that changed? In the last 10 years?

What is the "plane of defense" I've never heard of this! There has been times that the defense really wants the ball and the offense really wants to keep it, so we see very good ball handling (juking and jiving) and agressive defense to the point that the defender is not between the ball and the basket but very much closely gaurding.

Thanks, Stan
