Message: [QUOTE="OlsenRyan13, post: 1406437, member: 5234"] While we're on the topic of M2M vs Zone, it's a real shame that the NBA doesn't allow zone. It's one of the most effective defenses, especially in college, and JB has used it to his advantage. But the recent trend seems to be that recruits know they won't be playing zone in the NBA, so they don't want to play it in college, and we end up losing out on top recruits because of it. Based on this alone, I think Hop will have to throw some M2M in there when/if he takes over, and that in turn will probably lead to a change in recruiting strategy. I would welcome a change of pace, but it really is a shame that after so many years of the Syracuse zone we might be witnessing the beginning of its decline. [/QUOTE]
