The problem is the college basketball landscape is evolving... and lowering the ceiling of the 2-3 zone's effectiveness, especially when it is the only thing an opponent has to prepare for.   Can we stop pretending that players and coaches don't adapt?   Look at the triple option in football.   It had a period of success before its effectiveness diminished.   This is not crazy talk.

Does this mean we abandon the zone?   No - it has its usefulness but it needs to be considered a situational weapon.   And, as teams like Louisville show us in year in and year out, there are various pressure packages that can be deployed in tandem with a zone to disrupt tempo.   Based on the presser and 21 years of history, there are zero signs that JB will think outside his box even as he's been given a new lease on his career.   It will be a very short lease if he doesn't take his blinders off, unfortunately.   One more NIT may be JB's final curtain call.
