I've been reading posts on here for years, but never cared to comment. Great source for information.
 
I think it is interesting that most of the posts assume that the solutions are limted to personnell and positions. Love him or hate him, Boeheim knows basketball. He could very well shock everyone and go to a man defense, or change the entire scheme. He knows that his zone needs at least two active big men under the basket, and he knows what Grant's limitations are. But will he?
 
In my opionion, the question shouldn't be who plays where, but what our illustrious coach comes up with if BMK is out. This is what he makes the big bucks for.
 
His zone works because he has the right players, but what will he do, or better yet, what has he done, when he does not have the right players for the scheme. Is he capable of letting go of the zone, if there is a more effective defensive scheme? In golf terms, will he continue to play a fade with a left to right wind on a dog leg left? Is he capable of laying up and using more club into the green?
 
Situations like this separate good coaches from great coaches. I'm no expert and will never pretend to be, butt this is why I have always been on the fence about Boeheim.
