Boy is our zone offense frustrating.
Not sure if anyone noticed this, but we played zone for one posession in the 1H. UNCC center flashed to the FT line, received the ball and promptly reversed to a guard who drilled a wide open 3.
We flash a guy all the way to the top of the offense, 25 ft from the basket for the sole purpose of reversing the ball. So Gardner, Taylor or JW has the ball that far from the basket and is no threat whatsoever. We reverse and the zone has plenty of time to shuffle with the ball so we get no advantage at all.
I would like to see JW or Locket and maybe even Mayo (might be too short) flash to the line and then shoot or drive. All three of these guys could do it.
Would love to listen to Buzz explain his zone offense philosophy some day.
