How about using it against a team not shooting 3's well, in order to protect players in foul trouble ?
How do you think.....

I’m all about trying a zone against a quick 5 out team, to keep Edey from chasing some guy around the 3 point line. It would probably require taking Braden and Fletch out tho.
Could be a 1-3-1 where you hide Braden at the back 1 or do a 3-2 and have Braden or fletch on the wing but probably need fletch sitting out and have Heide at top and jones on wing.
I’ve thought the time to try a zone might be with the 2nd unit. Furst, Heide, Colvin, Gillis, and then maybe Lance?
Braden is a bit small for backside I imagine due to teams attacking short corner. 3/2 would require Zach and whoever to cover the baseline shot off a pass. Could hold Zach in tight if dribbled to close to baseline and let top guy take baseline. A team like Purdue is probably a 2/3 if it were to happen. That said one or maybe two passes and all zones look the same because they are covering weak areas a lot
True. Just trying to figure out how to make it work with the starters. I think the 2-3 may work too but may be tough with Lance and Braden up top and Loyer on the wing
Yep. It is a common topic for people to voice displeasure with Fletcher’s D. A coach can try to hide a player weaker on D when in man by assigning him to a player and putting him on someone he is more likely to have success. Course if switching the opposition can eventually get the matchup they want, but in a pure zone can put who or how many on the weaker man’s area in a zone easier and quicker
