[QUOTE="Innocent Primate, post: 1454461, member: 628752"] IdahoIllini — From someone who has watched college basketball since the 50's (my first real college basketball memory is of watching Elgin Baylor in a Seattle uniform — everyone thought they’d suited up the heavyweight champion), I couldn’t agree with you more. There are reasons why there is such a thing as a zone defense — one of those being to hinder penetration. Limit your capabilities and you hamstring your team. Teach zone defense hand-in-hand with man-to-man — you’ll improve your team, confound your detractors and frustrate your foes. What, exactly, is the downside to being equally disposed to (should the circumstances warrant) and adept at both types of defenses ? [/QUOTE]
