Struggles against the zone

[URFan1]

Dick Tarrant's teams were pretty good at it. This was a hallmark of Coach Tarrant's teams. His teams were constantly switching defenses.

Also recall one interview he said had 7 options on inbounds play depending on how D set up and responded.

In my playing days, I would instinctively press all the time and my coach would het pretty pissed. I'd get benched quickly when it happened and it's why I had one season where I averaged more steals per game than points.

Reading these posts, feel like Tarrant must have been a savant. His teams could run multiple defenses effectively. Opposition never knew what to expect out of a time out. Spiders need more of that.

No doubt one of our all time best coaches! Winner.

No doubt one of our all time best coaches! Winner.

He was our best coach and one of the best in all of college basketball.

Why not train the scout team to run zone defense exclusively. Hell we've got enough players (and young coaches) to have two scouts teams, one for zone and one for man.

Personal foul on Rick.

You are outside of Coach Mooney's box. Not allowed. Coach knows what we are doing and is determined to follow it....whether it works or not.

Time to find some new fans who don't complain about the zone!!
