Who ever said "yep" either didn't watch the game or doesn't know what a zone looks like? They played man to man 85% of the time. That being said they didn't have to play much defense.
The question was - 'did they really play zone?' - and the answer is yes. You even admit it in your response - if they played man 85% of the time then they would have played zone the other 15% of the time. And in my estimation it was more like 60/40.
By the way, hawks parents are some of the most RN people I've seen at a lacrosse game in a while.
who cares how much they played zone? 15%? 25? 53.58%? can explain why you care? Ridiculous and embarrassing. Nothing the Hawks have done in the last two games have been gimicky, illegal, unsportsmanlike, or ill advised, either on the offensive end or the defensive end or their ride. This is called "playing lacrosse." Would people care if they played Zone 65% and lost? or 10% of the time?
Actually their defense is gimmicky and ill advised. But hey - whatever it takes to win!
Doesn't seem so ill advised when you look at the scores. And for gimicky? Let's do this. Let's make a HOCO rule that all teams must play man to man 100% of the time. To run any other defense will be dubbed gimicky and be a two min unreleasble. This includes all teams. Even when you play the Hawks offense. Let's see that works out for everyone A good defense is a good defense. Just deal and scheme to beat it.
