no lead safe with Lon

Absolutely. Instead of one hot shooter taking every shot, you have a better chance of making them switch shooters. Rarely are all the outside shooters hot.

Plus, someone like Lattin needs to be at the peak or wing of a zone to run guys off the three. It's a strategy for stemming momentum.

I agree that a change needed to be made - either zone or pack the man D in tighter. It might have been same results but at some point you have to make a change and earlier is better than later.

We did the worst of all cases - continued to let them spread the floor and play one-on-one. They either drove for the easy shot or kicked to guys who were still wide open because our guys were only half-committed to helping and half-committed to guarding their own man - a recipe for disaster.

ISU is not a team that I would have wanted to zone but we needed to try something else at least by the time it got to +9. It also didn't help that we tightened up on offense so much.

If you read my post and got "fire Kruger" out of it, then I don't know what to tell you.

Why is it that there can be next to no reasonable discussion here after a loss? It's either the world is crumbling and we need to clean house, or anybody that doesn't just accept the loss is too negative and shouldn't be a fan.

Can you imagine having everyday, real-life conversations in which opinions can only exist in extremes?

Honey, I think you forgot to put the toilet seat down.

OH, YOU WANT A DIVORCE?! GOOD LUCK GETTING A HUSBAND WORTH A DAMN! THEY SEE A GOOD HUSBAND GET DUMPED, WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO LIVE HERE WITH YOU?

No, no! It's not a big deal. I was just saying...

YOU WANNA GET BACK WITH YOUR ABUSIVE EX-BOYFRIEND INSTEAD? HE SCRUBS TOILETS AT SHONEY'S, SO I'M SURE HE'LL REMEMBER TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN EVERY TIME!

Nevermind, I'll never criticize you again.

DAMN STRAIGHT!
