I just wished, even with the lack of talent, our defense would have shown a little more development and effort.


I wished but it would be dumb to expect it. Not only were players forced out of their natural positions, but they were first year Pearl players. Hard to develop when you have no experience then midway through the year you have to learn a whole new position

Also, I find the reluctance to play a zone, even sparingly, very annoying.



I'm with you on this. Next year we should have the depth to have Pearl's signature full court D. Employing a zone this year would have been a temporary thing anyways

I don't recall seeing much full court D this year, but then most of my basketball has been AU and some SEC highlights. Does anybody do this anymore? Has it been affected by the new rules?
