[B]**This is not a zone bashing thread, just a video I found about how UNC successfully attacks zone defenses, including Syracuse's. Had some confusions/questions about the video** [/B]

Seems pretty complicated with all the movements and screens and how UNC runs offense against Syracuse and other zone defenses. Coach Roy must have figured something out, as after losing the National title game while he was at Kansas, an unranked Syracuse team beating #6 UNC, and then putting up a measly 45 points in the 3rd game, then UNC figured something out. I just had two questions however:

1. Thoughts on the video? Do you think its accurate? Anything the video is missing? I am a huge basketball fan, but I'll admit I don't have a lot of knowledge of the X's and O's regarding basketball.

2. If UNC has been so successful, why don't other teams attack the zone the same way? Is it just teams/coaches don't know how to attack the zone, or they know how to, just unable to execute the gameplan as well as UNC does?
