Let's talk zone

[GB Warrior]

Reasonable.

Many consider a zone to be "lazy," but if played right it is active and can be very disruptive. Pressure the ball high with a guard, trap the corners, have the big challenge the high post while the wings pinch in, etc.

Syracuse has won a LOT of games with its "lazy" zone, including a national title and several Final Four appearances.

They also routinely have a roster construct that consists of several 6'6 wings and a center that can rebound.

Our current team is better suited for harassing man defense, which is unfortunate, because they're not particularly good at that either. I agree with News that zone is ok as a change of pace tactic, but better coached teams will adapt quickly.

Also reasonable.

Play some man, play some zone. Mix it up, stay longer with what works best on a given night.

Yep. Last 8 years for example... Syracuse's average height rank in the NATION: 6, 11, 11, 10, 2, 3, 18
