OK well I should Admit by 1990 I was eight years old so I might have been not quite up to do what they was doing exclusively but I know they’re playing a lot of zone then But yeah I could be off so I apologizeNot exclusively. I remember quite a few Bill Raftery, “And the Cuse...man to man!” calls to start the games.
1996 was the beginning of almost all zone, as I recall. We were kinda slow at guard(but tall) and lacked depth, and it was a good fit for that team, which surprisingly went all the way to the finals.
2010 was the beginning of 100% zone no matter what, and recruiting for the zone being more important than offensive fit, IMO.
