Message: [QUOTE="FireballPhil, post: 2016588, member: 553"] I don't believe the problem is all D. Not even close. If our O was good, we could at least stay with teams by trading baskets but that isn't happening. Our D is bad because people are simply running to spots and then staying there...not reacting. Not closing out. Not extending the zone when the other team is on fire from deep. They are setting up a couple feet inside the 3 pt line and staying there unless someone looks like they are going to shoot the ball then they try to close but it is always to late. Never any chance to intercept the pass for a steal and layup. The zone is based on man to man principles but they simply forget that part of it. Will they ever wake up? I don't know, but all we can do is hope for it, while doubting so you don't get even more disappointed if they don't. [/QUOTE]
