Agreed. It reminded me of KenPom's
Boeheim Exception article from 2013.
When Jimmy B has the players, the "4-1" zone is consistently one of the best in the country in terms of 3PT% defense, by a mathematically significant margin.
I also love that the zone tends to force a lot of mid-range 2 pt shots, which is not only a lost art amongst this generation of players, but is also just statistically the shot you want an offense taking in terms of point-per-possession. Jimmy might not be an analytics guy, but a lot of advanced metrics tend to agree with his approach. Now if only we could rebound every year...
