D3:

2 Teams run Motion/Press
2 Teams run Fast Break/Press

D2:

2 Teams run Motion/Man
1 Team runs Motion/Press
1 Team runs Flex/Press

D1:

1 Team runs Flex/Press
1 Team runs Flex/Man
1 Team runs Motion/Man
1 Team runs Triangle/Man

Any thoughts?  One thing I'm thinking, is I can't win in D3 without running a press :(  But, maybe I am wrong...?

I think it has more to do with the coaches at lower divisions don't know the best way to stop the press from being effective.

Can win with any, set up your team and play to its strengths

I agree with hogstench ... obviously you can win with any O and D.

BUT .. I would say that Press and M2M defenses are easier to win with in D3.  (And everywhere for that matter)

I am trying a Zone team in Div-2 right now .. they seem to be playing well (Not really my team yet as most starters are from previous coaches at this point).  But I want to learn more about zone, so I took the team.

At D3, it's just harder to find guards that meet aejones' rule of thumb (potential ATH + SPD >= 120 or they are not worth signing!) and have decent BH & P.  In order to beat the press, you really want to have guards with 60s or better in both.  You can make exceptions from that, but you really need to have a good justification to do so.  When you skimp on BH & P, then your team will turn it over and lose to FCP teams.  No question.

I find it difficult to take advantage of the advantages of zone at D3, but, IMO, zone is stronger than press by the time you get to D1.  The reasons for that have more to do with early entries and the fact that the budget leverage advantage of taking a couple walkons is just massive at D1, compared with D3.   My suspicion is that coaches learn that zone is bad at D3, but don't give it a second thought when they get to D1.  So the simple fact that fewer coaches think to run it at D1, makes it look non-viable. 

I've played a few different sets at D3, but all five of my D3 final fours (and my sole D2 final four, for that matter) have been running man. FWIW.
