Basketball concepts: isolation plays in the clutch

That only follows if the NBA also lacks better individual defenders than the NBL has. But then in the NBL, the individual defense doesn't matter nearly as much as the team defense does (which is really also true in the NBA, although to a lesser extent). Look at what happened to Ennis and Young when they first came into the league, for example. So many turnovers caused by help defense merely existing.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the players in the NBA and everything to do with the fact that the NBA has adopted rules and interpretations with the goal of making basketball an individual sport.

I agree, especially in teams where there is little iso run. The Taipans tried it last year in the do-or-die game vs Melbourne and ended up being called for an offensive foul. Why not run with the sets that have been working.?

I'm with you, Statsheet.

Flat isolations after timeouts in particular has statistically shown to be a low-% scoring option. I'd be willing to bet that P&R situations are only marginally better.
