Often, the offense will utilize picks (blocking the defender of the offensive player with the ball with another offensive player) against whoever is guarding the ball or even away from the ball. Often, the two defenders have to switch who they're guarding to keep the person with the ball from driving. When you switch, the offense often gets mis-matches (ie a quick, small offensive player guarded by a slow big player or vice versa, a big, strong player down low guarded by a short player). There is often a lot of confusion when multiple picks are used. Finally, and possibly the biggest factor is that it's exhausting. Rather than staying in one general region (like in a zone) you have to run all over the court to stay with your man.
