Nothing against Coach Noble, but when you have a kid you can't guard, such as Tolson, you may want to switch out of "man to man" defense. If nothing else, just to give a different look. Also, If I'm Noble, I'm posting up Collins on the block and telling him to stay within 10 to 15 feet of the basket at all times. If utilized correctly, no one in the region can match up with his height and athletic ability.

Collins had a guy 5’6 guarding him too,  at least most of the first half.  Agreed on the switching d.  With that length, they would be hard cats to clean after in a 2-3.  Switch it up with half court trap at times.  Boeheim does pretty good with the 2-3.
