The zone is [I]supposed[/I] to take away easy shots...it is supposed to make it so JB can dictate to other teams what they do and where they get their shots.  So far this season it has not worked that way. at all.

Wide open 3s and dunks/layups is what teams are getting...on the reg.

the degree of difficulty on made baskets by opponents is soooo low, imo. I know teams are going to score...but it is maddening to see teams make open 3s and dunks/layups for most of their points.

Vs NC STATE...many open looks resulted from collapsing on a big who caught it down low...who then kicked it to a wide open shooter who nailed it.  i think they should live with the man on man d down there and see what happens. this game shouldve been a blowout win imo...20 turnovers in a 40 minute game is A LOT.

I think it is poor strategy to collapse on a big with 2-3 players...especially if it leaves a good shooter open. i get it that they want to help marek but it is just too easy for opponents to pass to a wide open 3 point shooter.

Griff and Bras and KR are getting really good at rotating on the zone once it breaks down...kick this up a notch and it can get interesting....the other players arent so good at realizing when to rotate and are usually a step slow in realizing that they are indeed the one who has to cover the shooter. this should be a point of emphasis in practice.
