i'm torn. i've always liked zone 'o'. walking around seems to work pretty good (until you break it), good decisions are rewarded... etc. but now, in teaching my kids, i'm torn. obviously the 'throw a zillion passes, we can work it, old college try approach' is doomed.' but i don't have a 6'7 guy either. so it's usually 3-4 passes, get to the popper, bring in the deep, bombs away to the wing.
and hope that we can get it back, and get them out of zone. coaching has come down to hoping my bad zone 'o' is better than their bad zone 'd'.
i think i'm getting an ulcer.
ahh, their getting better, a lot better, but, for real.

i watched the semis and finals of the Nor Cal State Chmpionships this past weekend. Teams effective at scorign against a zone averaged ~3-5 passes per goal.
And throwing a zillion passes isn't necessarily the best way to beat a zone, even in high elvel ultimate.
Tip: In blogger you can date a post w/ any date you want, all the way back to 1990. Why not go in and edit your "old" posts and put the date they actually happened. Then they'd be archvied correctly.
3-5, good to know. i'll modify strategy accordingly.
zillion passes bad: agree wholeheartedly. math is always right, and .99^n where n is high... yada.
thanks for tip. and flg, there is only ONE old post. the other is an anecdote, that i don't think i ever put into prose in it's comlete form.
