Obviously the zone has been a hot-button issue for some as the losses pile up. Interesting point on that from DT today.
More and more lately DT has been citing his team's inability to guard the dribble as the biggest problem they have on defense; penetration leading to lay-ups or drive and kick opportunities for open threes.
Asked about playing more man to compensate for that today Tyndall made it plain that in his experience as a head coach, if you're having problems guarding the dribble in zone you're going to have a lot more guarding it in man-to-man.
He also added that they're probably playing 25% man-to-man right now.
Getting bigger inside is a priority that everyone can see but Tyndall is also focused on improving his team's quickness and athleticism up front in order to cut down on penetration.
