That kind of zone is very hard to teach. With roster turnover in college, you need to focus on one. I've seen us go zone a few times and what you see is because we typically don't have experience together, is a lot of ball watching. Which gives you scores.
The previous big games against Uconn a zone defense would've done wonders.
Maybe it's the teacher....
Ed and Bass are working on load management with Cal.
for sure it's the teacher.............when teams throw a zone @ UK..........the scoring stops, just like it did against WVU in the NCAA his first year..........had no clue how to attack it other than to shoot 30 three's that game
There’s not a lot of experience in middle school or high school either but those coaches seem to be able to teach how to play a zone. Not only that but they play different defenses too. You adjust to win.
Yep....the whole Sharpe deal was a load for sure
As opposed to our M2M which gives up easy basket after easy basket? If cal can’t teach an effective zone defense then he has no business being a coach period, much less earning the money he is now and the head coach at UK. I always stated Tubby was one of the most over rated coaches during his tenure here but cal makes tubby look like one of the greatest coaches of all time. Rather sickening how little actual coaching cal does.
The nba zone is much different than the college zone. The defensive 3 seconds is called in college. Usually though the nba zone is being played by really athletic bigs that cover a lot of ground.
Title misleading? Come now.....Any number of people can "tell" Cal something..............Does not mean he listens and takes their advice.🤔
LOL, no it’s not. We played some zone when I played Jr. Pro ball in grade school. It’s basketball not physics. You just have to practice it like everything else.
