Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1312170, member: 78"] I think of the zone like the air raid in football. sorry to bring up football but there's a point, i swear it's an effective strategy on defense overall but the problem is our offense has to practice against it and is less prepared to face other types of defenses. similarly, air raid offenses are quite effective on their own but the problem is that the defense has to practice against it and is less prepared to face other type of offenses syracuse is a factory for basketball and could probably get away with being more conventional on defense. in football, i think we should be more of an outlier and roll the dice. we do things backwards. my beef with the zone isn't our defensive numbers. they're always fine. i think the offense would improve in games if they practiced against a good defense that they'd actually face in games [/QUOTE]
