Whether you like the zone or hated it, JB was able to recruit a handful of guys to play it and fill in top recruits around them.  Regardless of whether players shoot better today or not, the reality is that shooters will almost always regress to the mean.  If they are cold in the first half, we build our lead.  If they are hot in the first half, we make our run in the second half when they get overconfident.

Edit: hit save too soon.  The benefit to having a system is that you can fit the pieces.  At least you know what you are looking for.  A certain type of PG... a certain type of SG... a certain type of SF and PF... and a certain type of C... but always willing to bend for a superstar at a position.  Red has a better team this year, but it seems like the pieces do not fit anything in particular.  Sure, peak Virginia and peak Villanova and peak UConn and most Duke teams gave us fits.  Those teams were at their peak for a reason.  And we usually were competitive.  So sad how far we have fallen.  From 34k fans in the Dome to nearly empty upper deck. Sad times.  If the next coach has everyone shooting free throws under-handed, but we win games... who cares?  Zone?  Who cares?  M2M?  Who cares?
