Duke goes to zone, immediately gets a steal. Not sure why it took them 15 minutes to realize that was the answer.

It is pretty shocking. Miami may be the worst team I've ever seen against zone. If I'm an opposing team I'm playing zone from start to finish

Whoa. Beverly is playing through a herniated back injury. That would put most of his critics out of work for 6 months.

Certainly changes my perception of him. Would love to know why the school only discloses this information to the national media guys though.

Sorry, that last silly turnover has not changed my perception of Beverly, who also shoots too much (most on the team, 8 attempts in first half today, next closest is 6) but the way he passes, maybe that's not an option either. Best is his drives. Anyway, there goes the lead faster than I can type.

Same ******* offense against the 2-3

please put me out of my misery with this staff

 

[Gables Canes]

Sure we can’t shoot, but our effort to attack a zone is non existent. This has been a problem with every L team lately. Poor coaching

 

[King of Allapattah]

Little disappointing to not see Miami run one play against this zone. This 4-out 1-in offense isn't getting it done. Very stagnant and just a lot of standing around.

And the commentators at halftime slobber over K for going to it smh

How is a Division 1 basketball team this pathetic against a zone. Its not like they are playing Cuse every game who plays zone exclusively and has perfected it...most of these opponents are playing zone bc they have scouted Miami and know they suck *** against it. Pretty incredible that this is the best they can do against it which is basically stand around and jack up bricks from deep...

When you've got talented players, particularly on the perimeter you can simply run a zone offense and rely on their talents to score, But Miami doesn't have that. They're relying on turnovers and transition to get points right now. It's pretty evident to me that they need to run some zone plays when they're in their half court offense. They don't have enough skilled guards to constantly run motion and solely rely on that to score points. They need to get into some sets and execute.

That has almost everything to do with K's dumb a$$ not going to zone from the start.

A high school team would give this canes Team fits in a sound 2-3

Honestly, I am tired of hearing about injuries. Especially for a school affiliated with a hospital. I would think Miami would handle injuries better than what they do.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Thank goodness the Caps are on. So Coach Alphabet goes zone and we stagnate?

Coach K refuses to play zone. Must of his losses come from his refusal to play zone.

We don't need to hear about every hangnail or jammed finger, but a f cking herniated disc is a significant injury that he arguably shouldn't even be playing through. There's no reason whatsoever to sit on that for months.

They mentioned it on a broadcast back in December. I remember commenting at the time that it might explain his awful free throw shooting.
