A good read by Ken Pomeroy on the Athletic.
I won't copy and past here, but he cliff's:
1. Not many teams play zone and generally speaking, they're less effective than man defenses
2. It's hard to do a study as again not many teams do play zone, so it's hard to control for talent deficiencies
3. Teams that play both a lot of zone and a lot of man generally aren't good.
4. It was posted the day the most famous zone defense in the game beat #1, so the coincidence isn't lost.
