I'll look for one. Is there any tool you know of where I can look at a team and see what tactics they have used in their past 50 games or something like that?

I agree with RiP/Sharman, and all that they believe that 2-3 zone is dead. I will take it 1 step feather. For about 2 seasons i was running inside tactics for about 90% of my games. What i saw is that the guards where taking almost the same amount of shots, and some times even more than my big men. Most teams also have SG like SF, so if you combine the shots that PG/SG/SF comes from outside, then its clear that they are is no use for 2-3.

Now playing 3-2 zone on inside tactics, yes you can get lots of stops, and in general you can make it much harder for your opponent to score, BUT you get very weak on rebounding, and more often than not, your big men will be on a foul troubles early.

Can a 1-3-1 zone be effective against inside tactics?

I consider 1-3-1 zone as a desperation move in general. You are giving up 2 many rebounds, ID.

It may work for some teams and in some circumstances but I'd like to see some examples from those saying 'use it' where they have done so in 50/50 match-ups or must win games.


(22809663) - last season in the conference final i used it succesfull and i still thinking when you are right that your opponent plays inside it is the best strategy.(even when you could mention that the opponent plays a natural 2-3 Zone, but my SF isn't the ebst shooter as you could see)

For me at least 3-2 is much more successful for me then 2-3, I won my championship last season using 3-2 against a team that was centralized on their Center and pounding it inside. However that was League V, so it is possible that the passing is just not high enough in that league to make a difference, plus my guards are mostly built for OD. But for right now in lower leagues i am of the opinion that 3-2 is much more effective against look inside or low post then 2-3 for the most part.

i don't think that the league make such a difference, because it is mostly about match up and probadly my players could pass the ball better but also the oppsoing team is defending the passing lanes stronger. personally i believe the 2-3 zone is still useful, but risky because if the opponent don't play an inside tactic your defence is very weak.

3-2 Zone actually is something like a man to man defence for me, it isn't the "strong" stopper against oputside attacks anymore but works well against nearly every offence.(but you could get better result with the right strategie, but thats my personal opion)
