Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2134587, member: 289"] I don't care about the man to man- SU's record after JB concentrated on the zone shows that it was a good decision. And aggressive zone can have all the virtues of a man-to-man. What I'd like to see is at least token pressure on every possession. Trap the guy who get the inbounds pass. Have a third guy set up to intercept the pass and a fourth guy playing centerfield past the mid-court line. The center defends the basket. If the pass is completed, one guy harasses the guy who received it and the others run back to take their positions in the halfcourt zone. It would produce some steals, increase the pace and cost the other time time to set up their offense without sacrificing too much on defense. JB says nobody presses any more. But several teams I've seen in the NCAA tournament do and we do and do it fairly well when we commit to it. [/QUOTE]
