Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 1981364, member: 5195"] Too much finger pointing at the players. The zone by its nature puts our defenders at a disadvantage to deal with physical inside play. Guys like Hap can seek out positioning behind the zone while our guys are busy watching the ball. We need athletic forwards with great weakside instincts to help erase mistakes when the zone breaks down and we need a center that can at least hold his ground in the paint. We have neither. This is not even addressing the penetration issues up top. It's a good thing JB said they'll be using m2m as the situation calls for it this year. Maybe they'll start to learn the slides by February but by then we could be squarely on the bubble between the NIT and CBI. Let's be realistic - this is a bad zone team given the personnel. I can't remember a season where we looked this lost on both ends of the court. Probably have to go back to the Celuck days. [/QUOTE]
