Hi,

It's anecdotal, but more SB may lead to more fouling: while more ID will typically force worse shots (farther from the basket, more difficult type of shots), more SB will attempt to stop the shot after distance/type of shot etc. Is determined


Is this proven? Is there a tangible data to state this?
I`m asking because I see a huge and still growing tendency nowadays to get more SB also more and more team and trying to make the set up for the 3-2 zone.
So it would be very useful and strong information to really deep dive to understand this potential foul problem.

I'm too lazy to look for it, but that's what I inferred from the explanation BBs provided when they were trying to convince us SB was an important underused skill; it is to contest more shots even if it doesn't show up as blocks. I've seen it in my players as well that when I move from man-to-man to 3-2 zone, my shot blockers are far more prone to fouling because they are contesting more shots.

Would be awesome if you could send me somehow.

Also when you say SB = IS, you mean the offensive player IS against my defensive player SB right?
