Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 1353969, member: 626"] Izzo, like Pitino, is flexible in his coaching philosophy, IMO. I love our HOF'er & acknowledge that he's one of the best ever. But I don't always agree with his "short bench" and the sometimes passive defensive approach he employs. No one plays zone like the CUSE- but by definition, the zone still allows a team to attack it, instead of the other way around. We've tended to fizzle in March and peak in January, because teams are still developing early in the year, but by the time we get to the postseason, teams have all gotten better and can therefore attack our zone more efficiently as well. I hope when Hop takes over that we change things up a little more...like playing more guys and not being wedded to one defensive philosophy. JMHO [/QUOTE]
