This just looks like proper help defense with proper switching. If the on-ball

defender gets beat that badly the closest defender should instinctively step in to stop the ball and the guy that originally got burned should recognize that and switch. We can call it the Peel and Switch, I guess... but, it doesn't seem any different than what I was taught for help/switch defense years ago.

Cutting down open drives to the hoop by 50% isn't effective?

Not really the system. In this system, you don't wait until after you've been beat. There's a lot to it.

So, the on-ball defender bails (peels) intentionally before being beat? Maybe

It's not that simple, but yes the switch is called earlier which is possible because of the positioning of the help man.

I'll concede. I'm not seeing it, but I trust there is something I'm missing.

The key innovation is to have the defender that is about to be beaten to peel off to defend the man that is left open by

It's not there. It's help defense and help the helper.
