Could not disagree more in regards to the zone.  You have to execute to beat it; the zone itself is not "ruining" CBB, it's the total lack of execution and skill level beyond dunking that is being exposed.  Good teams absolutely shred a zone.  In our heyday, we would crush Cuse by running high-low stuff, having a threat at the foul line, or overloading.  It's not rocket science.  But if the entire game plan is to screen the top and try to penetrate to kick to a mediocre shooter then you are going to lose.

And whoever compared the zone to our shotblocking past, it's more or less the same.  Whatever rim-protector we had at the time usually camped out and played a one-man zone.  Part of our philosophy was to play super tight perimeter D to funnel to the shotblocker.

It's like MLB considering "banning" the shift.  Beat it, show you'll take the ball the other way and are not just a pull hitter going for the downs every at-bat and the shift will be a thing of the past.
