I am changing from a fullcourt press to a zone defense. Do players learn faster if they play the defense in a game? In other words, if I were to use the zone defense in a game right now(that my team doesn't know), will my players learn it faster than if I were to just practice the zone defense and play a fullcourt press in games?

no it won't make a difference whether you play it in game or not.(at least i haven't noticed)

I'd play the fcp until the zone defense is hitting B-/B IQ

You'd be nuts not to experiment with a combo defense or switching D from game to game or end of game settings.   That won't speed IQ improvement, but at least you might turn an erstwhile liability into an advantage,
