Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4583746, member: 237"] In all honestly the difference is mainly from 10 yrs ago till now. 20 yrs is a better sample size for a statistical analysis but the biggest changes started right around 2013/14 and have accelerated since then. So even over a decade it doesn't really change the findings. The 3man weave article is within that time frame as well. All of the points and data I've made- the reality is that rule changes to the game matter as well. The 3pt line, shot clock, player cylinder rules among others then paired with how many more players shoot the 3 at a younger age and teams reliance on it have modified the game and zone effectiveness. Don't forget how the reduction of fundamentals in AAU that we have all discussed for a decade can hurt when you have to play a more cerebral defense which the zone absolutely is. [/QUOTE]
