press/2-3 zone combo Topic

Has anybody had success using the press/zone combo? Any tips like when to use it best? What kind of tempo you had success with? Or any other tidbits anybody like to add would be appreciated.

I don't use it, so I can't add much other than speculation. I always thought this would be the best combo defense, but IMO combos require too much of a drain of practice minutes. I'd guess def would be slightly de-emphasized for ath, spd, blk, then pas, and sta? Depending upon usual things like depth and opponent any tempo should work for it? I'll be keeping an eye on this thread too...

I've done well with it at Catawba in Knight.  I generally use it all the time.  Tempo is based on my opponent, but I usually have enough talent to run normal to fast.  Sitemail me and I can give more info.  Don't want to give away all secrets on the forums.

I picked up St. Louis in Rupp and switched to a zone/press. The last couple years I have won games in the NT, so you can win with it. If you run slowdown I find your starters can play 30 plus minutes if they have decent stamina. It doesn't block a lot of shots, and is a drain on minutes, so I might not use it unless I was in d1. As the last post stated, Iwill only drop "tidbits" on the forums but you can sitemail me.
