<<< The NBA is considering a movement to legalize zone defenses. Says Detroit Pistons coach George Irvine: "Please, God, no. Already it's hard enough to keep the Dikembe Mutombos, the Tim Duncan-David Robinsons and the Shawn Bradleys from zoning up in the lane in order to get to the basket. If you legalize zones, it will be impossible." >>>

Personally, I am in favor of legalizing the zone. First, I think less rules are better in any sport. Rules that are difficult for fans and referees to see are burdensome. Also, I think that in the last 10-15 years the NBA has gradually figured out how to skirt the rules, and everybody plays a "de facto" zone defense.
