I did not get to Lex. in time to watch SV and I through reading threads I have just one question.
Did Shelby Valley ever go 2-3 or 3-2 to protect their guys from foul trouble after they saw how the game was going to be called?
That junk 1-3-1 defense they play doesn't count either.
Honestly, I didnt agree with the defense choices the cats made at state. Though, their defense was good enough to get out of the region junk or not.
They stayed in a 2-3 match up zone.
I knew the zones would not be a problem for most any opponent they played in the state tournament. To be successful there you have to be able to play at least somewhat good man defense.

Really, then I can see your guys complaints.

They tried but wasn't successful with it after Elliott got a look at it a couple of times down the floor. Their Full court zone press does not apply much ball pressure (i believe its designed this way) therefore good teams with good gaurds like Elliott does not have any problem with it.
They played 2-3 all year long so what makes you think they would have changed at Rupp. The two things that killed them were 1) they were called for all the slapping and reaching that they did all season and 2) their freshmen played like freshmen.

They stayed 2-3 the entire time, except for a couple of possessions where they played 1-3-1.

Almost every game I saw, they played man .

By "junk" a 1-3-1 defense in known as a gimmick or "junk" D to me because not a lot of high schools and colleges play that
I knew what u meant by junk D!!! I see alot of schools use zone defense, some because they have to. Others becuase they are trying to give another look and matchup out of it!!

That was a match up 2-3 zone. It kind of looks like man but it is still a zone. Belfry, Pikeville, Betsy Layne were all the match up zone.
Elliott took the match up to the cleaners!!
