Message: [QUOTE="Delmar, post: 2544194, member: 3944"] John Cheney was a great coach at Temple, and before that at Cheney State (Yes, strange and curious, isn't it?) who was known for his zone defense. But before Cheney, there was Harry Litwack, at Temple, whose zone was the measure of all other zones. Temple in the 60's and early 70's went against Villanova, St. Joseph's, LaSalle, Penn, and more than held their own. They won the NIT in the early 70's when it still meant something. JB is the inheritor of Harry Litwack more than any other basketball coach as the guru of how to play the zone. [/QUOTE]
