Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2968583, member: 1251"] Hop’s zone is actually functionally a lot different than Boeheim’s. He relies on the guards up top to cover more space and he actually asks them to go out and guard past the line, instead of stopping at the line. The wings don’t come up quite as high, so they don’t give up nearly as many corner 3s as we do. Hop also halfcourt traps out if it a few times a game (he did it a couple times today with good effect). Hop tends to adjust it throughout the game. The centers also don’t come out as far up into the paint so they don’t get players sneaking behind them for easy buckets as much as we do. They have a lot of the same issues rebounding out of the zone and are really susceptible to good offensive rebounding teams. Offensively they run hot/cold like no team I’ve ever seen. They’ll rip of 13 points in 4 minutes then follow that up with a 7 minute stretch with 4 TOs and 0-6 shooting. [/QUOTE]
