Its a work in progress.

But if we play 11 minutes of even mediocre  2-3 zone yesterday in the first half we probably go into the half with the lead.
Takes our difficulty with the high screens right out the equation and makes life tougher for Jeter

Im not advocating using it. Im glad hes not at this point.  He needs to instill his primary defensive wants right now come hell or high water. Its a painful transitional proposition though. And we will feel it again.

Remember that Jim Calhoun as much as he hated it, would use a Zone when warranted to combat an opposition exploitation.  We were being exploited yesterday defensively.

Hurley cant do that now. Shouldnt. But a couple years down the road its a nice thing to have in your pocket on occasion.

Our problem is that we arent getting turnover>run out rewards at the rate needed against high level competition (Arizona and Iowa is our sample size right now)  to offset the breakdowns that are a by product of such an aggressive Man scheme.
