We've seen this all season. We don't know how to play zone and play the sticks. Zone is really man coverage in your area. Our guys cover space and not people like stick men in a corn field. They've done this all year in every game, yet Diaz still calls the same defense they keep failing at.
It's fireball for calling the play and even more so to not correct and teach zone coverage properly. Teams like Iowa are zone 1st teams and are excellent at it. How do you not look the teams that play zone well and replicate what they do? Even get on the phone and make some relationships with other coaches to learn how they teach that aspect as well as others that they do well.
This is just the results of a failure in coaching. It's a failure of the coach to not learn the "best practices" of certain aspects of the game and then to communicate and teach his players well enough thst they can execute it.
The failures we see are either coached or accepted or perhaps both.
