Please Play Some Zone

[dbem1]

We just cannot stop them driving to the basket. It’s destroying us

 

[akaukswoosh]

I’m with you.

Yea its harder to rebound out of a zone and we are already terrible at rebounding so why not really ... do they not get taught to box out?...wth. That's the 2nd half adjustment...box out

 

[GoNoles111]

They're really bad at that.

 

[Lempface]

Just rebound the misses we are playing good enough first shot defense. It’s not great but it’s good enough to win if we board. They have EIGHT offensive rebounds.

In general, we just don’t play defense. Plain and simple. Pope has still met my expectations in year 1, but we should use this season as proof of concept for offense (which I’d call a success) and Pope needs to find an ace assistant coach for defense

If we don’t get our guys back I am not sure we can win enough games to get into the tournament.

We’re ranked 17 with a handful of games left. Pretty sure we’re a lock, or close to it, for the NCAAT

Horrible take... we were just a 3 seed in the mock. You would be right if we lose the rest of our schedule.

 

[katwest]

They have five people on the floor that can score, we can’t guard them either way. If we can take care of the ball and rebound, we can win this game.

 

[canebreak]

We played zone in last possession and gave up 3 O rebounds. It’s pathetic either way.

 

[ukcatz12]

I love how people just think it's as easy as "just playing zone". If we're not playing zone there's probably a damn good reason why we're not. Pope knows a lot more about those reasons than this board does.

 

[NoDef]

Why is Perry and Noah the only two kids the announcers call out for getting beat. We are terrible defensively, but announcers only call out two kids. Not making excuses, just an observation. I never hear other teams kids personally called out. Williams scoring at will and not heard a kid called out..
