I don't *really* care if we play a triangle and two, a box and one, the 2-3 zone, the 3-2 zone man to man or did 60 minutes of he!!.

I just want wins.

Here is my ongoing issue with the zone - I think we would have a better standing on very elite recruits if we played man to man as it pertains to appealing to NBA play.

I also have a hard time dealing with the idea that these kids probably have played man most of their lives and now come in, maybe only are here for a year or so, and have to learn a very specific new defense.

Now, is that too much to ask? No, not at all. And if we win, then great. JB's won lots of game with the zone, can't argue that.

So how I reconcile it in my mind is that I wish we had a secondary defense besides our press to switch from, I don't think that will happen while JB is here and I'll see what happens with Hop.

Would I prefer man to man? Yes. I think it would make us more appealing to certain recruits and help our guys in the NBA.

C'est la vie. I also wish we would make our FTs this year. Stuff happens. Keep winning and I'll deal with it.
