[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 28735, member: 274"] 100% correct on how to attack the zone. The thing is, to borrow from the football discussion, we need the jimmie's and joe's as much as a coach who can coach them to do it. There is not a single player at the 1-3 positions that is quick enough to penetrate or decisive enough to make a play once in there. On top of which we look severely undersized at the 1-3 positions. MGH is the size of a 2-guard. The only way you make up for the size disadvantage against top competition is if those guys have some type of exceptional skill... ball handling, 3-pt shooting, quickness, defense, etc. None of our guys have that, and very little of it can be taught by the time players reach the college level. This team needs impact players and a coach willing to give those players some freedom. Honestly some of those players are injured right now. It seems like there's some freedom to maneuver on offense, but the apparent handcuffs on offense might be more due to lack of playmakers who can freelance and create their own shot. For a number of reasons GT's margin for error was slim just to reach .500 in conference this year, and we've already lost that margin and more. [/QUOTE]
