  A bit of an over-correction here, Freme.

  He has way better talent than Pete was ever able to attract.

  He can’t coach offense. Period. Look at the games since he’s been here, and tell me one thing that looks really good on offense...

  Clearly Hops offense was better when Ken Bone was on the staff. #bonersforlife

  Good thing hop plays a 4/1 zone, not a 2/3.

  Tomato tomatuh. You zone, you will give up open looks from 3. you run into a hot team from 3, you’re done. Not ideal when the championship is determined by a one and done format.

  I worry that this year our ceiling will be making the tournament as a 7-9 seed, 3rd or 4th in pac team. When we play our last conference game of the year, we will still hear shit like "this is a great team, they are just young and havent played together long enough. Then we have a massive dropoff next year when all our good players leave and are left with a team lead by Hameir Wright. At that point, we've lost any recruiting momentum and it's back to the routine of hoping to compete for a tournament spot every couple years

  That's why hop runs a 4/1 zone. The weakness isn't the 3 pointer. It's getting in the backside on the baseline. Oregon State and that fuckhead Tinkle are great at it. Few was the first this year to expose it against us. Stewart is great at defending it. But watch the zone, all 4 are up at the three point line trying to force the high post shot.

  Its not really a standard umbrella 4-1 either... Its really is its own amorphous system, even this year's zone is being different than last year.
  
  When the ball is high in the middle its a tight 2-3
  
  When the ball swings to the high wing its an augmented extended 1-3-1 where the top guard drops into the free throw line space
  
  When the ball goes into the deep corner baseline we double trap
  
  IMO the Zags being able to attack that backside baseline spot was a function of the wing defenders not playing the zone properly, not a function of the zone system itself. They regularly got caught way too high in an attempt to help the top guards and then were slow to drop into their proper lane (often too wide) after the "handoff" to the top guards occurred.

  The honeymoon is over. We are wasting the best player since senior B Roy.

  Hop’s zone is a mirage built on the greatest defensive player in program history. Tallest team ever can’t catch a rebound to save their lives.
  
  The offensive woes were blamed on Romar recruits, but it turns out the Romar guys have been just as good as Hop’s guys.
  
  3 McD’s AAs and we look like shit.
  
  This was a BAD UCLA team. At home.

  It's possible BOTH Romar and Hop suck.
