Many great points in this thread, but to me, the bottom line issue is not the Zone per se, but the exclusivity of the Zone. The Zone has two big weaknesses:
1. The three point shooting as discussed
2. Difficulty rebounding
Jimmy in his presser talked about rebounding.
So why in the world would he not correct that by installing a D that makes it easier to rebound ???
Two ways to address that:
1. Contract the Zone (and risk opening up more good trey looks)
2. Do the unthinkable in Northern NY and try some man.
For the life of me, I just do not understand why we cant play some man, at least in short stretches to mix things up.
Hell, the one time in Jimmy's life when he made that adjustment we ended up with a National Championship. Why cant we do it now ??????
