Nah. He just doesn’t have the players he used to have and especially lacks the long, athletic wing guys that make that zone so effective. This is a historically weak and talentless Cuse team.Either Jimmy retires, or he's going to have to drastically change his ways. The athletes today are too good to defend all game with a zone. His 2-3 zone is caput.
it doesn’t defend the individual shooter at the 3 point line necessarily but with the right defensive players and length it’s hard to shoot over and it limits the offensive team to one shot.I agree with the original poster. think the 2-3 zone doesn't defend the three all that great, and the three ball is such a big part of today's game.
I think if you run an offense with a capable person in high post, and three guys along the arc that can hit threes, all it takes it a little bit of ball movement and and becomes very difficult for the two defenders in the zone to defend those four guys (high post + guys along the arc). Obviously one of the bottom line players could start creeping up, but the 2-3 is less than ideal.it doesn’t defend the individual shooter at the 3 point line necessarily but with the right defensive players and length it’s hard to shoot over and it limits the offensive team to one shot.
Having tall shooters like Hinson helps a lot. Back in the Jamie heyday when we weren’t the strongest perimeter shooting team and when Cuse had all those long athletic guys we had to attack that zone from the high post, which with the kinds of high post players we had was very effective.
