Message: [QUOTE="sdcuseguy, post: 2865545, member: 6541"] The zone defense has befuddled teams in the tourney and that has obviously helped our cause the years we barely make it in the tournament, which seems to be most years lately. However, I seriously question a coach's strategy where the zone is the ONLY defense we play. Have our athletes been that bad these last several years where we can never match up man to man? There is literally no mystery what defense we will play. I also think that optics are everything and other recruiters have convinced high school players that playing zone 100% of the time hurts their NBA chances. I am not sure that is true but from a perception standpoint, it seems to be. SU just doesn't have the panache that is use to for players...I hate admitting that to myself but it seems true. [/QUOTE]
