Link or it didn't happen. You said it prevented 3's, which is why I think it's a joke.

Don't feed the beast.

At this point, I'm convinced this is complete shtick

My favorite play was the Alzee steal, then pass to a streaking Tony Mitchell completely uncontested (the WKY players were literally walking back). I'm gearing up for the highlight dunk of the evening

Wow...racist overtones not appreciated here and adding "no offense" doesn't make it any the more appropriate. Dirk doesn't care for your slap at "white guys"...just sayin.....I don't think a person's

Prediction: Game time will be moved back 30 minutes as WKU will get lost coming to Denton. If we don't win, JJ should be hung from the rafters and required to shout out the score and the play by pl

I have always said man is the best option but 2-3 zone is a nice change and if run effectively can stop the 3. You want your opponent to shoot the ball from deep.... You just want a hand in his face. I will give my opponent the three all day if I have a hand in his face until I see a need to change back to man or half court trap our double. How is having 4 men guard the three as opposed to have having 3 men guarding the three not stop it? I have had 3 or 4 people back me on the boards who actually like myself gave relevant arguments while the rest of the "highly touted basketball IQ genius has just spouted out "oh what a joke" "troll" "are you kidding" "idiot" etc... I am really thinking that my argument of sending your 3 and 4 to trap (which is an option in a 2-3 not how it is always run) is a better argument then assuming I am a troll or idiot...

Im waiting for insightful opinions

how insightful... of course! I forgot "I'm convinced this is complete shtick" the ultimate argument for why 2-3 zone is infective. The basketball IQ around here is outstanding!!!!

Someone please give me a simple reason... here I will help... well skiver the 2-3 zones main goal is to stop the penetration...

skive: well yes though that is true when you as a coach choose to have your 3 and 4 trap in the corner and play up you shut down the corners and ultimately when stopping the penetration you should stop the three. Penetration is the most dangerous offensive maneuver in the game. It allows for 2 on situations in the post if you don't collapse and if you do then there may be an open three. (however with the 3 and 4 in position the three should always be contested.

You turn... here is an idea discuss the adv and dis-adv to allowing the opponent to shoot a three with a hand in his face...

I'm reminded of the story of the guy who hit his head with a hammer constantly. When asked why he did so, he said it was because he felt so good when he didn't.

I'm just ready for both sides to shut the eff up. Arguing this becoming as fruitful as conference re-alignment threads.

Are these basketball boards not a forum for fans to share their opinions and have them debated in a "professional" manner... which has been attempted before. (Lets assume a fan came on here and said tony Mitchel is awful he fouls to much and finds other little pieces of his game they do not like... my assumption is the response would be troll, or gtfo, a ton of negatives.... and just attacks without a knowledge of his game. Knowing basketball random facts about coaches from the 80s maybe be great for the tasty greek or others like him, but im waiting for the knowledge that comes on the court to be discussed).

never said that... was just an assumption though I could have sworn I added in hair color and weight as well...

though I thought segregation was over until I watched the little league teams play at the half time game about a month ago!

My point is that we've gone round and round on the zone stopping 3's or not.

In several threads.

No one is conceding anything, and people have tried to convince you that zone gives up many open 3 points shots. You have argued against this just as intently. It's going in circles. Let's at least drop it till the next postgame thread, okay?

"contended 3 point shots", so whats the next topic then? Our offense? Its pretty stale when we slow it down and try to set things up (prior to Mitchel arriving) Sometimes we still sit on the ball

I wasn't saying you had to do anything Skiver, and I wasn't blaming you anymore than anyone else. But the argument ceased being informative and became a pissing contest at least a page or two ago. Feel free to keep it going if you want, I'm not a moderator. My initial comment was more of a general bitching at both sides not letting the damn thing die.

And I think we've usually had trouble playing a real down and dirty halfcourt game. Doesn't seem like what we know what to do half the time and the PG has to create at the tail end of the shot clock -- and this dates back many years. JJ's teams have always done better when they're playing in the 70's and 80's. So, let's play faster and run more.

Oh, he did? I just remember reading about it in some of the pregame notes MGSports puts up.

i thought teams employ a zone to stop a team that has a more dominant inside game but run the risk of a 3 point shooting team 'shooting' them out of it. did i miss something on that?

No. Unless you're defending an un-defendable point you missed nothing.

Well its hard to explain when you are just saying "zone" and not specifying anything!!!! Zone... zone could be an offense (run by smaller teams) so just stating zone means nothing... and every defensive zone is different! Ridiculous

my bust amigo. i was specifically referring to a 2-3 zone on defense which is the most common one employed in the college game.

1. used to stop superior inside game.

2. succeptible to outside shooting.

no?

I really hope people do not get mad at me... but yes and no (depends on how you choose to run it and the ability of your players)

A team that runs a 2-3 zone where the 3 and 4 trap the corners and play up defend the three... especially for teams with incredibly athletic 3's and 4's. It also stops penetration which is the deadliest offense threat in the game because of the options you have when you drive in. Technically this is how you beat any zone. But hopefully you have athletes who can recover quickly. If you step up and stop the penetration then they have to swing the ball too one of the wings where your 4 and 2 may trap. If they choose to throw a cross court pass then hopefully your offense adjust quickly. If the lane should be shut down and if its not you have the baseline and you 5 protecting. Now if they send a cutter then the 5 steps up and the 3 drops down which may leave a man in the corner. That is where your 1 jumps out to get a hand in his face. Essentially you have 4 men guarding the perimeter. Man is always the best option but 2-3 zone does not hurt to stop penetration and force some bad shots hopefully.

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!

      Morris Weekly Press Conference (11/26/24)

      I appreciate that he obviously keeps track of the dialogue from this board. And I appreciate that he named the very concerns posted by many of us and owned those issues. But, I'm troubled that he could not state a plan to address our problems, other than to say, "we have to do better". That is what Littrell used to say. Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving. Let just be thankful for what we have and enjoy our basketball team playing in primetime tonight.
