Message: [QUOTE="malpearl31, post: 3101126, member: 6520"] Don't know if anybody here subscribes to The Athletic, but they're running a series of "State of the Hoops Program" preview stories about most of the higher level D-1 programs, and I thought there was something interesting and relevant to this thread in the Butler preview, of all places. Specifically, the article talks about Jordan Tucker (remember him?) and some adjustments he's had to make since transferring from Duke to Butler. Quoting from the article: "Tucker knows he needs to be a better defender. He’d played zone at Duke and didn’t have a great understanding of man-to-man principles or how to defend multiple actions until he got to Butler." So my thought was - for all of the back-and-forth about Zone versus Man defense and recruiting... it sure hasn't seemed to hurt Duke in recruiting these past few years, has it? [/QUOTE]
