This is the right strategy for them. Plaisted sucks against Nevill--both offensively and defensively. If I were Rose, I would consider going to Miles early and often and depending on how the Plaisted/Miles/Nevill matchups go maybe he splits time with Plaisted 50-50.
If I were Utah, I would do nothing special for JT. If he's on, BYU will win no matter how you defend him. If he's not on, Utah has a decent chance. But you can't afford to game plan for him with Plaisted, Cummard, and other outside shooters. I think in this case, you just hope he's not on. Maybe get physical with him especially early on, that's about it as far as a different approach.
I like Funk's post. He tries to paint himself as a BB expert and then says wacko stuff like U should use a triangle and two vs BYU.

Yes it is a terrible idea to try to lock down Cummard and JT with a triangle and two. Plaisted is only dangerous in the post, so keep Nevill in the post to guard Plaisted. Let Burgess and Murdock beat you.
