Hence Brannen changing and adapting. May not have been correct, but he did adapt as some say he doesn’t.

A zone seems like the obvious solution.

I’ve dropped my bias. Every one drop theirs too,

We suck at defense.

And it seems Brannen has very little respect for other coaches considering he makes no adjustments at half when seemingly the other team is.

Perfect example: Chris Mack can’t coach defense and is a packline defense guy. But when Xavier was at its best a few years ago, it was because he was willing to mix up a 1-3-1 that confused so many teams.
Mack was also in his 5 year and had his guys. I think that helps more than people want to except.

So a zone will fix all the problems defensively? And if teams can shoot? Then what? Keep playing it? Can you imagine playing a zone against Iowa.

I thibk Brannen with his guys may turn out good. Hes got a history of starting poor.


But his inability to adapt to current roster is concerning

You don't have to play a zone all the time. But it should be used on a situational basis. If the opposing teams 5 isn't a shooter (UConn), then play man-to-man. But if they are, then use a zone at least part of the time to try to confuse the other team.

Against a team where everyone can shoot, we are in trouble regardless. You either live with it, go small with Scott at the 5 or play Diarra at the 5.

UC basketball is a shell of what it was... I don’t care how many 4 stars are coming in or how fast you want to play, you turn the ball over this much in EVERY game you will lose to teams such as yes........ Tulane


Bowling Green, Colgate, Tulane..... let that sink in

I get it, losing these games sucks, and is concerning but I don't think the adjustments are as easy as some are claiming. But we are all just venting and looking for answers.

That's my overall point. We are in trouble regardless. If we put our best defense on the floor, we can't score or create a shot. Vogt is an automatic bucket. I don't think taking him out is going to make this team better overall.

Id agree... One thing is certain. Of you turn the ball over you should lose minutes. The turnovers have to stop
