Hey I just jumped to a low level D one school and they run a triangle and zone. I want to switch to motion and man. I am strarting 4 freshmen right now. My question is should I keep playing triangle and zone for this season so my upperclassmen can play well or will I see a huge difference in IQ change with my young guys if I just bite the bullet and play the motion and man which everyone has low IQs including the upperclassmen. Hope this isnt too confusing... Thanks in advance for any advice!

Play the old system, practice the new system.

And expect a whiny email from your asst. coach.

I would disagree with hannibal on this one. If you are starting 4 freshman then I would switch to the new sets now. Looking at the team I'd have to say your post-season chances are rather slim anyway. Might as well make the change now so that your 4 freshman will develop properly and be ready to go next season. If you have them playing one O/D set but practicing another they will not get the full benefit.

scotty -- you are right, I did not read closely enough.
