It was the 2010 team with Wes Johnson not the 2009 Flynn and Harris team that lost to Lemoyne
The 2009 team switched to man to man that season to beat Kansas in KC.
The switch sparked the comeback.
That team with Flynn and Harris was athletic enough to switch defenses frequently.
Such BS! But hey, JB certainly got people believing his garb that the 6th winningest program in the history of the NCAA doesn't have the caliber of talent/athletes to beat a team the likes of Le Moyne College. I mean, upsets happen, we see it all the time in the NCAA's. It was one frigging exhibition game in the preseason that our guys took as such, etc. And, whereas Le Moyne took as the pinnacle of theirs, even if it was an exhibition.
The premise that we aren't capable of playing m2m with the talent we have been typically accustomed to is unreal. If true, what does that actually say about our coaching? These guys have played m2m their entire lives in very competitive environments, AAU circuits, etc. What, they come to SU and suddenly don't have the ability/capacity to play a wink?
There's an obvious reason why 99.9% of schools out there play m2m as their primary D. The same/similar reason why the NFL is called a
copy cat league. If playing zone as a primary D beared so much more fruit, then why don't more teams utilize it as such? We should be able to play some, mix it in, etc., especially when the
situation calls for it. The zone can still be the primary D, but it's critical/imperative to get the right personnel to play it optimally. Otherwise, it becomes a weakness, and as more and more guys out there today have the ability to shoot from beyond the arc, easy pickings. At a school the likes of SU, we should be able to adapt/adjust accordingly.
