Message: [QUOTE="Nicknack, post: 4579414, member: 1003"] I was thinking about this more unfortunately - slow day at work... it's so obvious to most (at least on this board) that Jim's stubbornness and perhaps old age is getting in his way. I firmly believe he won't try changing things up on D because he doesn't want to look like he's caving in to outside voices. This clearly matters to him or he wouldn't have said what he did about Virginia as well as the many other comments he's made about zone over the past few years when defending it. Jim views the zone as his way, which has led to many years of great success. And he's right about that. However, he's made it so personal, at least it appears from the outside. This is what is so incredibly frustrating. Syracuse is the 2-3 zone in Jim's mind. Moving away from the zone threatens Jim's ego. [/QUOTE]
