Our zone lost us the game against Baylor.
Almost any other team in the nation would have changed defenses just to confuse the opponent.
I can’t say every team because their are probably very few who wouldn’t change and those teams/coaches would be stupid as well.
If you don’t see how Gonzaga locked down Baylor in the first half and Baylor struggled that is okay.

Nobody is saying to scrap the zone.
People don’t fight the zone. People fight the fact our coach won’t deviate from the zone when the opponent is shredding it and/or getting tons of offensive rebounds.

If we switched to 90% zone and 10% 1-3-1 or m2m or something else besides the 2-3 it could confuse the opponent and switch momentum.

We don’t change and teams know that and attack that.
Coaches who want to play 100% m2m like Coach K/Bill Self/John Calipari have adapted and added zones to their teams when they struggle and get shredded in m2m.
The refusal of our HC to do the same is where frustration from within our fanbase comes out.
