Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 4682461, member: 6979"] its a more recent thing...I think it stopped being as effective without the plus players and athletes which made for a slippery slope and other programs were able to recruit against it really well. and teams figured it out more and more...with the era of 3pt shooting... [I]with the right players [/I]the zone can still be amazing you need long guards...fast and active forwards...and a center that is smart enough to make the right reads and big enough to scare teams... problem is in the "off years" when the players arent right...you're basically throwing the season away before it starts...at least thats how it seemed lately... this season - there's enough institutional memory of the zone...they all played it last year - I think they could do it well without much fuss...
