What happened to the Pitt Zone Defense?

Why isn't Jamie playing it anymore? He's even said in interviews that he feels more comfortable using it.

Am I missing something here?

Against Louisville, our defense wasn't exactly the problem. I hate using zone against bad teams, so I'm glad we didn't zone BC. Against NC State I thought it wouldn't have been the worst idea, but that game got out of hand so quick I think it caught everyone by surprise. We actually played pretty good Man D in the second half, forced a lot of turnovers.

I think the better question is why were the assistant coaches constantly angry that the team wasn't pressing. If you watch the second half, Brandin and Jason Richards constantly looked positively amazed that the team wasn't pressing. Like, they were told to, and when we scored we backed off. It was confusing.
