You seem to think that employing a zone means you don't have to be able to execute fundamental defensive skills. That's just wrong. Same skills and abilities are required. Plus you now have to understand your particular zone's tactics and it's weaknesses. This quote is what a person who has never taught a zone to a team thinks.
You really should purchase a premium subscription. All this has been discussed over and over. Nubs as brought it up multiple times. Coaches have discussed it as well. So clearly the shoe is no the other foot. I don't there is anything inaccurate here except you post. So I think you should STFU.
Don't need a premium membership to see that this topic has been beaten to death and everything I said is accurate. So yeah, don't jump in where you are so out of your league there negatwatt.
Practice time is the one point I feel is irrefutable. Time for a coach is finite. You can only do so many things in that time so the more you add the less you spend on any given topic. The less repetition you get the less likely you are to execute well.

Yes. There are a lot of parallels between IU last year and Purdue two seasons ago.
. Next time we drop a 10 point loss on those guys.It depend on the zone, but with a traditional 2-3 I agree with you.Zone defense... It is a fun discussion to have. I think that if we had won, there would be no discussion of it on this board, at all. We lost, so the urge is to "fix" the loss. We all tend to do that sort of analysis. As for my opinion, I think I would take all that practice time consumed by trying zone, and use it to practice free throws.
I have always thought that zones are breakable by getting a man into the high key area, behind the zone. Get the ball to him, and let him hit slashers for easy baskets, or take it in himself. Think of Hart being behind the zone. Doing this puts tremendous pressure on the zone's center and can get him into foul trouble quickly. Given that, a zone against Nova would have been a disaster.
I only use it here in regards to the people that are pretty much only here to post negative things. I change between negatwitt and negatwatt depending on whom I am responding to and my mood at that time.
In fairness, I don't think that DG10 meets this description. In this thread, it appears that he just wants to discuss strategy.
It is only "commonly" used by Kessel and he uses it in every post sometimes multiple uses in the same post.
I can change the game by shortening the length of the court and make it a bit wider as well. Basketball coaches have to pick players that can do it on both sides of the ball...quickly.
Well, there is just no arguing with stupid. They just drag you down to their level and beat you up with experience. Lol.
Well it helps for the players to put in the effort. So even a zone wouldn't help. I am so glad you aren't the coach.
He thinks the problem tonight was defense? Oh it's Nag. Never mind.
Georgia State score 56 points, had 19 turnovers, and shot just 41% from the floor. I agree that it was a good thing they played man to man D tonight.
Let me get this straight... out of your 5 defenders, you're going to put 4 of them on 2 players? So that leaves 1 player to guard 3?
Hopefully someone does this to us!
That said, Painter is well aware teams are going to do exactly that, more-so when they are in the low post. EVERY team has done it to our bigs since Hammons sophomore year. Painter has adjusted very well, instilled in our bigs understand the double is coming and look for the pass immediately by holding the ball high, typically the 2nd defender flees back to his assignment, and it's a 1 on 1 again until he dribbles, at which time the defender comes back, leaving someone wide open for a 3. Like I said in another thread, our gameplan worked great. We just didn't knock down about 7 wide open 3s. We hit half of them, we win by nearly 10 points, not to mention FTs.
So our guards missing wide open, stop and send a text before you shoot, type threes is the fault of coaching strategy? They had wide open shot after shot available and just flat out missed until they wouldn't even pull the trigger anymore. I would love to coach all my games against you Nags. I'd be in any coaching hall of fame I wanted.
Last year is pretty much irrelevant. The same people aren't here and the situation is different.
We went a long stretch alright.... from the tip of the game until nearly the end.
ya...64 points is f-ing pathetic. Zone or not. We had veteran guys out there missing everything from bunnies to set-up-camp-and-cook-smores 3 point attempts. Reminded me of the iowa game last year.
You would never put Haas on the baseline in a 1-3-1, because that would require him to defend corner to corner. Instead, I'd had him defend the post in the middle of the zone. (I like the 1-3-1, but not with Purdue's personel.)Very good. I think a 2-3 is possible even with Biggie, but prefer man like you. Also, Purdue has backed off the pressure more than years ago. That said I agree with you and stated such in the man to man thread. Imagine Haas in a 1-2-2 or a 3-2 covering the baseline out in space?
