I don't want to make it less advanced, I just don't think it's realistic to want to make it advanced. People after the championship game were talking about what if we had an offense like Villanova or UNC, but then we wouldn't have the 2-3 zone functioning the way it is.

I'm basically suggesting that we expand the variety of simple things we do. Sometimes we have four guys standing around the perimeter waiting for the PG to drive... Well, listen, why can't the guy on the wing set a screen for the guy in the corner, why can't the guys in the corners swap and try to get the defenders tangled up, etc. There are very simple things that can be done that don't require much practice time. Also instead of automatically having the 5 set the screen, we could have someone who is a threat to shoot or drive do it.

We could've tried to post up Lydon sometimes, or Mal/G if they got the right defender off a switch. Teams that switch off the high screen we should get a lot of mismatches if we use them right, which we usually don't.

Better, but simple enough to keep the zone this good, and I agree.
