How are you guys defending the baseline out-of-bounds (BLOB) under the rim?

Coaches,

What’s your default philosophy when defending baseline out-of-bounds plays right under the basket?

It seems like everyone has a different preference here. Are you guys strictly playing man-to-man and fighting through the cross-screens, putting your biggest defender on the ball to disrupt the passer, or just dropping into a 2-3 zone shell to protect the paint and avoid the cheap screening stuff?

Just wanted to see what everyone is favoring right now to take away those quick, easy baseline layups.

What’s working best for your group?
