I will explain.
We are playing Kentucky who will go inside and drive and try to score 80 pts in the paint if we let them. We have 1 small C, 1 small PF, 1 broken big C, and the smallest C in the nation at our disposal today. It's UK...fouls will be called early and often
1. Zone slows the other team down
2. Zone limits driving
3. Zone limits feeding the post
4. Zone limits fouling by our team
5. Zone makes the other team shoot jumpers more (UK has gotten better but still not good shooting)
6. Zone forces communication-Duke has used zone for this reason and K said it has worked wonders making them talk to each other (White keeps complaining about this)
7. You don't need it all game just at times
8. Zone will rest our legs (Which White has complained about)
9. Zone is the best tool to defend the post when out matched like we could be today
10. It's about not doing the same thing and losing the same way for the 12 time lol...its worth a shot for a 4 min segment here and there vs teams like UK
