Watching the Gonzaga men this season has been more than a pure pleasure. It's been a validation of a hope that the game can free itself from a disturbing emphasis on ball-stopping, stultifying, one-on-one grinding boredom. The Zags' offense is hoops poetry in motion. They flow, they move without the ball, they are selfless, they pass to one another and blend into one, splendid five-man ballet. This is what basketball can be but, sadly, rarely is today. For whatever reason, the sport has devolved into an unwatchable series of isolation possessions which put a premium on gross physical strength. The Zags, at least for now, have changed that trend for the better. They are physical but fully invested in a team concept over the full 90 feet. Thank you, Mark Few. Let's hope coaches and players are paying attention.
