You're completely missing the point of the "switch". This "switch" is a drop by the big to stop the player coming off the screen. He slows down the guard enough to allow his defender to get around the screen. He isn't guarding the player for an extended amount of time. Any competent big man can rotate down off the screen to help his fellow guard get back in the play. To say a player can guard 1-5 because he can rotate on a ball screen is ludicrous and shows how truly ignorant some are on this board about basketball.

What you just stated is what is different about Willie and why Kentucky's defense is so hard to break down.
They actually switch like if it was 2 guards in the pick and roll

Eh, not really. He's picking up guys off the screen instead of having to slow them down for the other defender to catch up. He's not helping, he's literally picking up the player and following through on the defense all the way to the basket in most cases (a lot of times resulting in the block).
What you're talking about is what typically happens when you don't have a big man who can guard a guard straight up.
