Message: [QUOTE="Janner, post: 2451060, member: 739"] Jimmy does stray away from the zone but I never said he didn't, I said he never plays man. And I don't disagree with any of your response, im sure that is the answer that is/would be given. Im not trying to come off as argumentative here because I know your stating the answer that would be given and not necessarily your opinion, but, just because zone is played at a high level does not mean you cant play man at a high level also (or at least in spurts). More importantly, the philosophical premise for that stance is that there is never a time where playing man-to-man is beneficial. That to me is an exceptionally close minded and very limiting view. And I think we have all seen times when the zone is not working as it should for whatever myriad of reasons. Finally, he is the only coach in basketball with this philosophy, that is and should be an enormous red flag imho. [/QUOTE]
