Why? These guys have been playing man in one form or another for their entire careers.  Most have only been playing zone for a few months.  Maybe if they worked on man instead of trying to turn some very disparate parts into a good zone D, they wouldn't be horrible at it.  I don't know, the zone is wonderful when there are players that fit and they've have had time to learn it.  Chukwu had a full season of practices and looked [B]absolutely [/B]lost out there. White was going to pick up all the rotations in two months?  Gillon is athletic, but he's not even close to Flynn and Flynn had serious troubles with the zone due to his size his freshman year until he had another year to learn it.  Lydon hasn't played a consistent position in his career yet.  Roberson, I don't even know what happened with him.  Thanks to his knees being held together with bubblegum and duct tape, Coleman can't protect the rim which is the primary responsibility of 5 in JAB's zone.  Battle is about the only player that fits, and he's got a bum foot.
