yah, and he'll say to an interviewer "I think our defense was good", when it was crap often times.
Both of those points are scary as hell. Accurate and scary as hell.

You might want to watch the replay on ESPN3. The zone is the defense that put the breaks on UCONNs runs and got Memphis back in the game. This happened 2-3 times.

Why did he "have" to come out considering that he went right back in with 4 fouls?
And doesn't zone protect your players when they're in foul trouble? Why get out of it at that point?
