I'm not comparing women and men's hoops but on Sunday VT smoked UVa , from the OUTSIDE, in Q1 against a M2M. Everything would say dont go zone , it will only make it worse. But UVa went zone, we started missing from outside, and had no offensive rhythm moving the ball and unable to get decent paint touches and the offense went flat. I firmly agree VT should not be a predominant zone team BUT I beleive in surprising the opposition and making them adjust on the fly. I've never seen a reason why CMY shouldnt work in a 2-3 zone a couple of possessions a game just to see how well the other offense reacts . One shot clock violation or deflected ball run out could be the difference. I have always thought the stubbornness of coaches like Bob Knight m2m or Jim Boeheim 2-3 NEVER to change it up was more about their ego then strategy.
