Izzo has been dead-on with this. I like him for selfish reasons; he has rarely figured out how to attack our zone, so JB has a pretty good record vs Tom. They also seem to be good friends. The last time we beat them in the NCAA's, one of their many future draft picks sat stunned in the post-game interview as he said "it isn't a 2-3, it isn't a 3-2. It's the Syracuse zone. We had heard about it, but we didn't know..."

Heh, heh, heh, well you know now, young man.

For those who lament when JB calls out a player here and there during a post-game, they should hear what Izzo says. He can be pretty brutal. He also always sounds like he has a toothbrush stuck in his throat. If I were an ear, nose, and throat doctor or an oncologist, I'd be terrified every time I heard him speak.

Around 1995 I was in a sporting goods store at the mall with my youngest. He was dressed in SU attire, head to toe. Izzo walked by us and almost walked into a pile of merchandise while staring. Izzo is well over 4 feet tall by the way. I used to see he and his family a lot, Izzo pushing a stroller and looking harried, his wife barking orders. It was always pretty funny.
