So ... with the defensive three second rule in the WNBA, I am wondering how this affects college choice for players who dream of getting to the WNBA - while zone defenses in the pros exist they are very different beasts that the classic 2-3 zone of college and man-to man is more common. There are some coaches and I am thinking about Duke specifically but there are others that only ever play a zone defense. That means that their players for four years never really get schooled in principles of man to man defense and this has to be a disadvantage when they turn pro.
Do kids ever consider this in choosing programs?
Does it effect choices in the men's game for teams like Syracuse?
Or is everyone so focused on their offensive games that it never gets discussed in recruiting?
Would this be one reason for some athletes transferring from a zone defense school?
I had never really thought about this but it came to mind related to our glorious news today.
