Western Washington Takes 'Zone Defense' to Extreme

Consider this your annual Bellingham Slam update. Forward Tyler Amaya, who played at Gonzaga, Dixie St. and Western Washington before moving on to the bright lights of the International Basketball League, dropped 44 in a recent exhibition game against one of his alma maters (WWU).

Alone, not particularly noteworthy, but how he scored two of his points merit a mention:



When Western Washington plays zone, they take it literally. Four players straddled the lane as Amaya sat among them, gathered a rebound, and casually threw the ball in the direction of the basket. After watching that I'm surprised Amaya only managed 44.
