I always wished JB would switch a little on defense in a game to make the offense of balance, but in all reality playing zone is not the issue..I coach HS basketball and took over as HC this year for first time...I realized very quickly the trend that has begun and hit my team...Kids DO NOT want to defend. All about the O like what they perceive Golden state as. I think Cuse actually has a leg up most years cause of that and usually has good defensive efficiency ratings...I had too play alot of zone this year cause my best offensive player by far and also a  senior wouldn't defend...I had to hide him as best I could...Cuse this year had to play zone and the guys struggled with rotations and getting TO's which is what the Orange zone usually does...If they went man, who were TT and Lydon going to cover?...How bout White and Roberson when he came in...We would have gotten destroyed...Duke can score but they wont win the tourney cause they cant defend well...Same with KY...Kids dont want to defend and M2M make them susceptible.
