even if you have the perfect roster, which certainly isnt an annual occurence, the zone takes a while for players to learn, it requires PROGRAM CONTINUITY

plus, as other posters have mentioned, the "curry effect" on basketball as a whole means that the average team now is littered with good 3pt specialists...most teams now have enough shooting to kill a zone...whereas,in the past, few did.

with the absolute perfect roster of players experienced in a zone, it could work. in the portal era of new rosters every year, AND with a coach who hasnt shown he can implement his schemes before Feb/March...zone is a bad idea, imo. what made boeheims zone good was that he would do micro-tweaks throughout a game to force opponents to beat him the way he decided...red aint gonna be able to do that if he does a zone for a number of reasons, as listed above.

looking at the current roster, it seems they may revert to zone...and if so, I doubt it will be good enough to do well in OOC...and basically not until well into the season, if ever.

saying all that, yeah, we are probably getting zone back SMH
