Since we recruited better 3 point shooters why did we not succeed with outside shooting against the zone? Why are shots not falling?

Jerry sounded the alarm on his season-opening pod and his was spot on again.

For him of all people to actively question if Seton Hall “whiffed” on the PG spot is a big thing. He’s seen it all here and he saw a problem.

Without analyzing tape (which idk who could against LIU from Walsh lol), but just from watching, a lot of them were the result of frazzled offense or hoisting out of rhythm versus lining them up a rhythm 3 against a zone.

Paywall removed:


Anderson quote, says a lot about the quality of kid he is:

“I’ve been blessed to have a coach that instills confidence in me, but also wants the best for me no matter what," he said. "It doesn’t matter if I’m making shots, he’s still going to get on me if I make mistakes, and I need that.”

Holloway on why Petrovic didn't play, despite Jerry noticing that Del Jones and Parker had no idea what to do with the zone either:

"It was tough because they threw a 3-2 zone on us. We got a few zone plays in, and when we ran them when [Petrovic] was in there, he had no idea what was going on. But he’ll be alright – we’ get him ready for next game."

Zone isnt hard. Fish has to flash at the foul line and screen for the pg. The pg unfortunately needs speed and vision. Both we dont have

Perplexing quote by Sha regarding Petrovic. Very weird and unfair thing for him to say.

We did it successfully at least once and scored, and after that never did it again. Very weird.

That quote could have easily applied to the rest of the team save Roddie, as well as the head coach who was admittedly not prepared himself for the 3-2.
I love playing zone at certain times and against certain teams and we are one of those teams. Most teams do not practice zones much. If you do not have players that can shoot the ball it makes it more difficult to score . Also running a zone offense takes patience .

Sha being thrown off from LIU playing a zone is one thing but a failure for him or the players to adjust and adapt to it is inexcusable. I do think this is a blowout game if they played us man to man but that's just great coaching on Rod Strickland's part

And why did Strickland use a zone? Because he knows Shaheen's offenses do not facilitate outside shooting, even if we have some good shooters.

Not only that but Sha was not prepared for the zone and hence neither were his guards and the rest of them! Did he only practice plays all week for a man to man? Did the players not have plays to use against a zone defense? He should have called a time out and had a teaching moment immediately when LIU showed zone and explained what he wanted from the 5 guys on the court!

Petro was not at fault...coach was. Copland and Sha should have worked this out fast!
