Message: [QUOTE="cp176, post: 5208203, member: 13278"] I am and forever will be a man to man coach. But using using all types of zone presses at the fullcourt level and running and jumping trapping and rotating always has added to the defensive strategy designed to speed up opponents hopefully leading to creating turnovers. The challenge of learning to play man to man the right way is in my opinion the only way to teach and coach young players if you want them to some day be good players. Now with all that, good man still uses good zone principles. I just want to see one UConn player take a cut away from an opposing player. Jump to the ball and bar arm them. No one cuts across your face! Every program has to have a philosophy on both offense and defense. If you are a man program and you are recruiting players, I think it makes sense to bring in players who are fundamentally sound on the defensive side of the ball. [/QUOTE]
