The real issue I see is that it's way too easy with a few passes or a successful drive to get to the zone into overload situations where one player has to guard multiple players in a ton of space. In 2003 a lot of teams didn't know how to play a zone offense (see Oklahoma) now just about every team we play knows how to "bust" the zone. It's easy to blame players and they do make mistakes, but they are also put into impossible situations. I'm exhausted by the zone vs man debate and I firmly believe that exclusive, 100% zone with no ability to switch has cost JB a wins and maybe an NCAA title or two, but it's impossible to go back in time to know with certainty.

Bigger concern to me is how bad the offense looks against like for like athletes, has looked this year and the past however many. It's all one v one with players who can not and should not being playing 1v1.

It's all just a big, ugly mess that gets completely exposed against teams who have superior athletes and/or run a disciplined system on offense or defense.

IT JUST NEEDS TO END
