in college basketball is going away from hedging. Often I see the bigs simply trying to keep the man with the ball outside for just a second of two until his man, who had been picked, recovers and then the big retreats back down to his man. I could be wrong here since I don't watch a lot of college basketball beyond the Bruins. But from what I have seen it seems to be that strategy being mostly implemented rather then the hard hedges we have seen until recently. Maybe Cronin is just bending toward the trend or perhaps he's adjusting to his personnel? Either way I think the strategy helps the Bruins.
