??? But, it sure would be reasonable to find out.I know there are some things this team will need to improve on when it comes to their defense. Would this team be better if they played zone instead of man to man?

Every basketball player is familiar with zone defenses and have played at some point before getting to College. Back to the OT, we will likely never find out as cal would rather lose playing M2M the whole game rather than win playing a zone.Why don't we just try to keep improving our man to man D.
We have a bunch of kids that have never probably played zone. Any flaws we have in our man to man we would also have flaws in a zone with inexperienced players.
We've had solid defensive teams without dominant rim protection. The 2011, 2017, and 2019 teams were all pretty good on defense and lacked a shot blocking 5 in the best 5.I tend to think a team that is poor defensively is a team that's poor defensively regardless of whether they are in man to man or zone. Going to a zone won't magically help things.
It's kind of a shame because rim protection has been a huge reason why our defense hasn't been good since 2015. You'd think our team with all these 7 footers would be better.
Good post.Zone defense is used for 2 main reasons. The other team is more athletic and your guards can't stay in front of their guards. The other is to "somewhat" protect players from foul trouble.
On the flip side it exposes you to the 3 point shot and offensive rebounds. I hated playing zone and rarely used it. On the rare occasion I did I played a 1-3-1. You have to be extremely sound and tied together to make a zone successful.
With that said I prefer man to man.
Obvious troll is obvious.I know there are some things this team will need to improve on when it comes to their defense. Would this team be better if they played zone instead of man to man?
You know that will not happen...even if a zone would shut out the other teams!!I know there are some things this team will need to improve on when it comes to their defense. Would this team be better if they played zone instead of man to man?
I agree with all of that, but will add a third reason, to switch things up and cause the other team time on the shot clock to get a shot off. If you always play the same, they know how to attack it.Zone defense is used for 2 main reasons. The other team is more athletic and your guards can't stay in front of their guards.
