Can someone like CMY take pretty much any player with the right kind of build and athleticism and teach them high level straight up man defense, if they come in a bit green in that regard? Does a player sorta have it or sorta doesn't?
When CMY was first hired and said he was pretty much exclusively a man defense coach, does not do zone, I wondered has the game progressed where "junk" or zone defenses as a changeup don't hold the same weight anymore?
You probably remember one year under CSG, I forget which, when Adrian Autry was on staff there was a point in January where CSG incorporated zone and had Autry working with that team on it, and it was pretty darn effective.
Bill Foster was a man defense coach..I'll never forget one of his first couple seasons when he was still building that team, a better Tulane team played in Cassell..and Foster knew they hadn't seen any zone all year and he surprised them with it and we upset them.
