ageecee,
Didn't see the game but your right about 'why teams don't play more zone vs a team that cannot hit a 3.A few weeks ago against the johnnies they were 0-12 and the next game..maybe ND..not sure shot 5-25..but they won by a few.Cats play good defense and can hit the bds.
Timmy Walsh the former coach at Prov played nothing but 2-3 zone.his was Boe's asst at the cuse.Timmy's father was a coach and played man/man at SUNY Postdam for 25 years.Keno davis the coach at prov. father is the great Dr. tom davis of BC,Stanford,etc. Box and one used Tom davis's zone attack for 23 years.In fact used the same formation in the zone attack and made it man/man.My kids I had weren't rocket scientist and I needed to keep it sweet and simple.
But getting back to why not zone...who knows...sometimes you go zone because of depth,the players have low basketball IQ,are too agressive,the other teams offense uses the dribble drive..I know its gets us frustrated watching these games.Didn't see any of the game so don't know about the last minute.GL the rest of the season..
