Adjust or Not Adjust

Fair enough. What's the answer then to what seemingly amounts to a large number of uncontested layups? Last night was especially brutal and could easily be equated to the difference in the score. Which coach or coaches own the defense? I see a large number of coaches on the bench. I am genuinely curious about what they do. It might just be me, but I only see 2 coaches heavily invested in the game. The rest sit together on the bench and look like they would rather be on a beach in Cabo....This team is much better than what they have shown in some games. One only has to revert to the UVA game to see their capabilities on display. Consistency and the ability to make changes to adjust to the competition are sorely lacking.

I'd support zone for a couple possessions a game, only to be used when you

Syracuse and UVA have used a zone defense very effectively.

And yet, we'll see more "Why doesn't CMY use a zone defense" posts daily.**

I look at what Shaka Smart has done at Marquette. How does he do it?

The UVA game is more of a "anything can happen" type example than it is any
AbsolutVT03 • 02/28/24 12:37 PM ET
Valid. UVA just 1 example
NCHokie86 • 02/28/24 04:54 PM ET
I'm just not sure I agree. I don't see a ton of talent on the team. I see

The Athletic had an article on the disappearance of zone defenses in (men's
