It was a lecture.  We're both not idiots.  That's fine.

I do think Pitt gets away with them and sets them often.  SU does too.  Almost every possession it seems Pitt, SU, or any other team in the country is setting them.  I think it is more erosion of fundamentals and the guards not using them properly as well.

I know they bump and hold cutters.  Illegal for sure.  Our problems with them has had little to do with that, imo.  More that our guards the past five years or so cannot even bring the ball up the floor many times and initiate offense and/or get us into any sets.  Also, the zone and our tempo is perfect for Pitt who generally have inferior NBA talent but good zone offense and brutes on the boards.  Louisville has mostly had more bodies, better players, and another coach who can shred a zone.  Times will be changing however as our recruiting has really picked up and we will have a stable of guards sooner or later  who won't be bothered by these teams.
