I know CC wants to play man but he has used a 2-3 zone in the past out of necessity. I would love to see the 1-3-1 resurrected for occasional use. BC employed this "D" with some success and with a lot less talent than on today's roster.
BC was a good coach,saddled with inferior talent, due to his own recruiting shortcomings. I hope CC does not discount the 1-3-1 because BC used it
I could see JVZ running the baseline rather than a point guard with Olah in the middle and some combination of Falzon, Law and Lindsay playing the wings with Tre out front. There probably would be enough offense for short periods and rebounding with a big lineup might not be as much of a problem as it was in BC's days
JVZ on the baseline would limit the lob passes that teams with good big men (Maryland and Lens comes to mind) used to defeat BC's 1-3-1
The disruption that this "D" causes might get a few more desperate shots as the 30 second clock expires. The lineup that I suggested might be challenged on the other end by a 30 second clock. Olah could play up high drawing the opposing center out allowing JVZ to get some offensive rebounds and put backs, maximiziing his abilities
