Article, Cal says defense isn’t that bad

This is a prime example of why he will never make another FF. He won’t attempt to fix something if he doesn’t think anything is wrong. Even if he sees something wrong he doesn’t know how to make adjustments. He’s really clueless!

Kenpom has us with the 8th best offense and 55th ranked defense. Meaning as bd as we the fans think our defense is, it's still better than 85% of D1 teams.

But how does it rank against the top 68 teams that will be in the tournament? You think we're even in the top 50%?

I guess the flipside to this tho is among Top 20 Kenpom teams, only Alabama has a worse defense. But their offense is currently 1 and by some margin to help make up for that.

Zone defense is garbage in modern basketball. Even Syracuse, under their Boeheim-deciple coach, doesn't play zone anymore.

It's so easy to pick apart and offers too much space for shooters.
They play zone defense a small percentage of the time in the NBA, and the reason they don't play it more is because of the defensive 3 second call, which they do not have in the college rules.
