Message: [QUOTE="rrlbees, post: 1670002, member: 96"] Cooney had his 2nd straight horrid shooting day. But that's only part of the game. He played because he was great on defense. Frank has a long ways to go in that area but in his defense, the way we play zone takes a couple years to grasp. JB and other coaches have said Cooney is a very good defender. He was better than that today. He was great. Jake put it perfectly. He's not a great defensive player but he's a great defender in our system. After fans seeing the zone every game, the whole game, I'm surprised how many still don't see how we play it. It's 50% effort but 50% knowing where to be and where/when to move. It's an amoeba defense. It's not your fathers 2-3 zone where a player never left their "area". It's funny seeing people say so many 3's were made because of Cooney. There's a reason we're 18th in the country in 3pt fg% defense and Cooney is a big part of it. JB knows what he's doing. [/QUOTE]
