I agree. I feel that is a flaw in Forbes overall coaching repertoire - his lack of using a zone (several types available) at such times as you mention. If he adds that item, I think his resume becomes pretty complete. 'Bones' was great at designing such strategy as needed. Don't shy to pick up something from Boeheim for use as needed.
Forbes may have felt that the guys weren't "connected" enough to play zone well. A bad zone gives up many easy baskets.
