and would you would play someone who has no experience playing not only the zone but also the speed and pressure of ACC basketball? Your post is the kind I respond to because it basically says that ball is nothing more than coaches manipulating and micro managing what happens on the court/field. Somehow any ole coach SHOULD be able to take any ole group of individuals and implement a very wide range of styles and play all with a simple signal. It does not happen like that. One thing posters do is suggest swinging for the fences rather than a coach doing and practicing what he knows his players can do best. More times than not, it isn't about what your opponents are doing, it is what you can reasonably do. There is no coaching magic to make SP as tall, long, quick and as strong as most ACC guards are. That is especially true when you add in that he does not have a passing outlet that can catch and attack the rim. Therefore his passing lanes are shrunk. What we see is what it is, 5 individuals all who have some strengths but just don't fit together well enough to be an upper level ACC team. As an example, SP could be an upper level ACC PG if surrounded by the right cast. But we don't have that. And no, no one season says much of anything about a coach. Now the question that I am asking is whether CMY is having locker room issues like CJF did? Something just is not right. But we will know for sure at the beginning of portal open season.
