Any defender who uses this new tactic of putting a hand in the face of the shooter...
...as they elevate is wack (like what Battier is pretty much doing to Kobe on every shot).
This is pretty much the work defensive technique I've seen in 20 years. It's right up there with the elimination of the hand check.
So puss, IMO.

I hit open 5-foot jumpshots with ease

So trying to obscure the shooters vision is wack? That makes a lot of sense.
Should they just not even put a hand up or what?

I see nothing wrong with it. Its good defense to try and mess up the shot.

, no they haven't. People like Battier aren't even defending the ball. He's going right for Kobe face when he jumps.
That's wack.

Not everybody is gifted with the natural athletic ability of the Kobe's of the world, so giving the lesser players a chance to disrupt a shot and not give a clean look at the rim is always a good idea on defense. Also, this is not a new tactic...

What, exactly is he to do? When Kobe elevates for a jumpshot, Battie, along with every other defender, doesn't have the jump speed and length to get up and block a jumpshot. Contesting the shot is more effective with blocking the view of the player rather than risking hitting the wrist of a shot they can't block.

I've always been taught to do that when you aren't going to be able to get close to the ball. I coached for a year and had an especially short team. I taught every one of my players that tactic. Why let them have a good look at the rim?

it seems like smart basketball to me. i don't see what's wrong w/ it. would u rather give them a clear view of the basket while they shoot? would u rather risk fouling them by going for a block? i also don't think it's "new".

We know exactly what you are talking about. You are talking about when the defender puts their hand up to block the face of the shooter.
