I know what he believes, that isn't the issue. My problem is it is difficult for me to follow your lead and think he is infallible when there are plenty of examples that contradict the line of thinking that playing one defense no matter what is the optimal approach.

Please, stop with the credential line. I'm begging you to be better than that. Do you know Coach K's credentials? Are his good enough for you? Because he game plans and has the temerity to not handcuff himself to one defensive plan regardless of what the current game situation, his personnel, match ups, etc are showing.

Also, I fundamentally do not understand this weird claim you keep making that anyone who thinks playing the zone exclusively has hindered us at times is "being emotional". It's just an odd stance to take. Again, you do know that the other 35-40+ years JB didn't win the national championship it was won by a team who played something other than a 2-3 zone exclusively, right? So it isn't this irrational thought that something else might work.

I have already done myself the favor of reading "Bleeding Orange" and I understand his explanation, but understanding what he is trying to say and blindly accepting it as fact are different things.
