Really bummed I missed the game last night. I had to teach and didn't have the patience to wait and watch replay. As I have been reading and digesting all that I can find, it brings a question to mind: Is my memory flawed or does this streak coincide with implementing the 2-3?
If so, it brings a few thoughts: 1. On a positive, CCC realized his system wasn't working, found and implemented a better one; 2. If he had done so earlier, or at least started to explore a zone earlier, we could be a bubble team. How many of those close losses might have turned around if we had thrown in some zone D. Hell, might have led to an even earlier commitment to the zone. (I would still like to see them keep the 1-3-1 in the arsenal for random change of pace - kinda teams that throw the occasional press.)
Spilt milk either way - team is looking good and the frosh are starting to really gel. I'm left with a positive taste that we have a coach willing to accept failure and implement change. Kudos to CCC
