Well that doesn’t fit the agenda….No you don't zone a team that is shooting 3's like A&M did today.
You do if you tell your team to favor their two shooters and make someone else beat you. Also most of their 3’s were coming off the bounce which if you are in a good shooting rhythm that is the type of shot you want. Most open looks on 3’s from a zone are more of a set variety and doesn’t necessarily mean you will shoot those just as well. Bottom line is it can’t hurt to try.No you don't zone a team that is shooting 3's like A&M did today.
It absolutely can, which is why we haven't played it. It's not as easy as just switching to a zone. For it to actually work it would have to be something they've worked on in enough in practice. Given how bad the defense has been, practice time is better spent trying to actually make the usual defense at least good. It's better to be good at one thing than suck at two things.Cant be any worse than the defense they've been playing

Um oh yeah it could haveIt definitely couldn’t have hurt.
Delegate running it to an assistant who acts as defensive coordinator. Coach Welch could probably help as well.Is there any evidence Cal is capable of coaching a zone?
Mixing in a different D is just something to try when your defense sucks and doesn’t work.No you don't zone a team that is shooting 3's like A&M did today.
But they did not shoot the three that great in the second half. Playing zone here and there would have changed the pace, instead of letting A&M drive to the basket at will. Face it Cal's Kryptonite has always been aggressive guards who could shot the three but drive relentlessly to the basket, and without a really great shot blocker to clean up that mess, it is going to be a problem this season as well.No you don't zone a team that is shooting 3's like A&M did today.
No but a zone would stop the other team from driving to the basket time & time again shooting layup after layup..... If I'm coaching against Kentucky. I'm telling my players drive it to the basket every time we get the ball & if the shot doesn't go in. We get the offensive rebound & put it back in. Since Pitino's 1st team a team with no size & no athleticism this is the worst defensive team that UK has had since I became a fan. And other than Adou Thiero we don't have a player that's man enough to fight for a rebound. No defense, no rebounders will result in another early exit from the NCAA tournament. Because there's going to be a game at tournament time when our shots aren't falling and your defense has to save you.No you don't zone a team that is shooting 3's like A&M did today.
We still scored 90. I don’t think we were all that confused. AM shot the lights out. If we zone them they hit even more 3’s and outbound us even more.You switch defenses to confuse the opponent and keep the flow off balance...you know, like A&M did to us.
When did he do that?Cal loves to blame individual players, playing zone takes away his baby rattler
Clearly confused in stretches, for example we scored zero field goals in OT.We still scored 90. I don’t think we were all that confused. AM shot the lights out. If we zone them they hit even more 3’s and outbound us even more.
I wish cal played zone on occasion too. But this was not the game to do it. They were just tougher than us and had 2 kids go off.
