Message: [QUOTE="AirForceOrange, post: 2017576, member: 1668"] None of these players were forced to come and play at Syracuse. When recruited either directly out of HS or a grad transfer, they knew they would be playing zone...they still chose to come to Syracuse to play...If they are skilled, knowledgeable players and most importantly truly willing to play the style presented to them, the system wouldn't matter...therefore it is a personnel problem. EDIT: My guess is that these players said they could and would play it and JB and the coaches thought the same...the problem is it turned out to be otherwise...We know from past teams, teams that have won championships and gone to Final Fours that the zone is an effective defense...why all of sudden, this year is it not? What is the difference? It is not the system or coaches... [/QUOTE]
