Message: [QUOTE="BlueCurtain, post: 91429, member: 881"] JB is the great accommodator. Have a game plan? He will find a way to accommodate you. There's nothing to pretend. For years he was labeled as the coach who just rolled the ball out. In 1996 he went exclusively zone because he was strapped with a talented but athletically limited roster, sans Wallace. That team caught lightning in a bottle in the NCAAs. It was a remarkable over-achievement for someone that was more associated with under-achievement. Pundits started giving JB some recognition. SU has been zone 24/7 ever since, save for a few blips here and there. Fast forward through the years. He used the zone in 1996 because it gave his team the best chance to succeed. Now he uses the zone because he feels he has a reputation to uphold. [/QUOTE]
