Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 5651831, member: 8594"] We didn’t lose because teams three’d us to death. We lost because we stopped landing recruits that fit the defense. JB’s zone and offense depended on dynamic Forwards with the athleticism and size to play the zone well, and SFs who could flat out get buckets (true SFs, not hybrids). We stopped getting those guys. We ended up with one dimensional guys or guys lacking athleticism or size and just making do. The zone can defend threes. You can play zone against a team with 4 shooters and win without a Herculean effort. I think the zone is a scapegoat. The NBA has adopted zone more at a time when 3-point shooters are more prevalent than ever. You have to have the guys, though. We don’t have the guys. [/QUOTE]
