Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 2524528, member: 937"] He does the two things half the posters on this board have clamored for in adjusting to new era basketball: -Gives up the mid-range jumper to provide better defense on the perimeter and at the rim and -Runs a token press to shorten the shot clock. Those are two major differences between his zone and our zone. One tactic forces the other team into less effective/more difficult shots and the other tactic takes advantage of the 30 second shot clock. If you want to tell me why we can't do those things without having all McDonalds AA's then I'm all ears. With that thinking, UVA shouldn't be an elite defense because they're not NBA players. [/QUOTE]
