[QUOTE="gt24, post: 849455, member: 538"] I dont follow Cuse closely (barely at all really) so perhaps [USER=274]@CuseJacket[/USER] can chime in with more details... Boeheim certainly changes the focus and rotations of the zone against matchups, including intentionally allowing/funneling the ball to go to the nail vs some teams/players. I've seen comments before from Boeheim (I think) related to how poorly some players/bigs shoot from there. And also how much easier it is for them to rebound when shots go up from there. Against some teams/matchups it can e the exact opposite tho. Regardless, I think they generally use "fan out" rotations/matchups when the ball does get to the nail, meaning the guards do not collapse or dig down (usually), instead they fan out to cover the perimeter kickouts, and allow the center to matchup 1v1 against the ball on the nail. At that point it almost becomes a m2m defense while the ball is at the nail. Just like any high-level m2m def, their zone definitely has adjustments and wrinkles based on strengths/weaknesses of opponents and can look very different based on matchups. [/QUOTE]
