I definitely think that coaches should play some zone every now and then to keep the opponent off-balance and/or to change the flow of the game and/or to keep certain players out of foul trouble.
That sounds great, but is hard to execute. There are only so many hours of practice a coach has before and during the season. Having a serviceable zone defense requires a lot of practice time, which could be utilized for more important things. I am perfectly fine with us not playing a single possession of zone defense this year, as that tells me the coach is working on more important things.
