Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 4769353, member: 210"] The most dominant college hoops teams in my viewing lifetime were the Larry Johnson, Gregg Anthony, Stacey Augmon UNLV teams. They played the suffocating Amoeba defense which was a 1-3-1 zone. I have no idea how well it would work in todays game where everyone has three dudes who can shoot 30 footers. But the thing with the Amoeba was that UNLV dictated tempo and pace and used it to control the game. My biggest pet peeve with our zone is that it turned into a very passive zone because we didn’t the athletes to play aggressively. When we had the athletes the zone took us to the final 4… but we didn’t have the offense to finish it. I personally feel that the offense has been a far bigger problem than the defense. In this era of hoops teams are going to get their points… we need to be able to put out 4 dudes who can score consistently. [/QUOTE]
