Is it just me or do we end up with possesion of the ball after a block shot far more than is normal? It seems like we do much less of the showy blocks where the help comes and spikes the ball out of bounds or to the other team.
Most of that seems to be because the shot blockers are good at controlling the ball and some of it seems to be that we just have quicker players to run down the loose ball. As I recall during the Holman/Rickert/Bauer era we also blocked a ton of shots but it didn't help our defense the way the blocks by Iverson/Sampson/DJ are.
