Prevent defenses are just a terrible strategy. I wonder if anyone has done a study about how they really affect the odds of winning a game.

Actually, I think the prevent defense works if you don't use it too soon and you have a big lead. Being up 7-10 points with 5-6 minutes or more remaining is not the time to use prevent, IMO.
