Imo, the problem with Cronin's system wrt centers is not the center going out to defend another center on the perimeter.
The problem, imo, is the center running out to chase a guard to make the guard take a longer route, to slow the guard down for a few seconds, before dashing back to defend in the paint.
In short, the problem isn't having Mara (or whatever center) defend centers on the perimeter, it's having Mara (or whatever center) defending guards on the perimeter.
