In Reply to: UCLA Basketball: Could a (Gasp) Zone be the Answer This Season? posted by mh on August 20, 2025 at 11:40:57
In the article, the only real reason stated for playing zone is that the Bruins man to man may not be effective. There's no positives presented to play zone. That's not a good argument. As has already been said - it's good to have a zone or two ready for certain circumstances, but IMO the Bruins would be better off playing man to man even if there is some foot speed deficiencies. I believe that Cronin will coach them up so that their man to man "d" will be a better option than a zone - except for those certain few circumstances.
