^^^^This.   Our program brand for many years was synonymous with a) winning, b) playing on a big stage with entertaining players and c) using an exciting, free flowing offense that loves to run.   JB played a big part in establishing the program brand.   But then the whole zone thing came along, and based on his comments which are borderline insecure, he has made it way too personal.   His focus on the zone has effectively eroded some of the cache in our brand, just so we can hear announcers say the "trademark JB 2-3 zone".   You can certainly make an argument that the latter is now more important to JB than playing exciting, fast basketball.   There was a time many moons ago when we could run, score points, and still win games.   JB would rather win 2-0 instead of 80-78 if it meant the media would keep talking about his zone.   I think that's what many of us hope will change when Hop takes over.   It is possible to win and have fun doing it.   Sick of white knuckling and letting the other team decide how slow we're going to play.
