defense question

I know Barnes doesn't really teach offense, and I think the #1 priority in the offseason should be to hire an offensive guy to be an assistant, give him full control.

But, my question about this year's team is about D. Where is the evidence of coaching D? It seems to me that close to half the time, the opposing team does whatever they want, whenever they want.

If we're really that bad on D, why not go to a zone? Whatever the problem in communication this year, we still have great athletes at almost every position. They should be able to pick up a zone really quick.
 
Part of our problems on D is we don't have any player willing to take a charge, we play matador defense, reaching grabbing and stepping out of the way. I feel for Barnes when he say he has no clue how to get through to his players.
