re: I'd like to hear the opinion of coaches out there..

Thanks for the reply. That's what I know to be true.

I coached hoops for many years. If you designed your team to play zone defense, you can't simply call a man-to-man if the zone isn't working. Calling plays means nothing if the preparation wasn't done.

So I ask, whose offense is it, and can he/they correct it in time? I doubt it this late in the game.
