Message: [QUOTE="Jingo, post: 3398674, member: 7136"] Yes .. exactly my point [which is] that Wooden's genius was that he could win with any type of player. Yes, you can call it Indiana heritage. And yes, the Hazzard/Goodrich zone press, the 2-2-1, WAS revolutionary. Imagine now a 'revolutionary' UConn 2-2-1 zone press with Aubrey and Mir on top and Liv at the back to block layups. Aubrey and Mir are relatively [notice I said relatively] taller, longer and quicker than Hazzard&Goodrich and therefore could create immeasurably more havoc than UCLA's vaunted zone press, eh? If a BIG team like Baylor cannot advance the ball, then their 'bigs' are effectively neutralised. It should also be noted that if the ball was [occasionally] advanced against the press, no college team could outrebound the trio of Aubrey, Mir & Liv. Best of both worlds! At any rate, something fun to dream about... [/QUOTE]
