You know you can have a different distro for 3/2 and 2/3, right?! Prep ahead for the rematch!
So, facing a zone D. I don't understand it yet. Zone is weak against perimeter shooting?... so, if your team sucks at perimeter shooting, what do you do against the zone?
If they play 3-2, jack up distro to your SF... I took this advice, but why? Why is the SF left unguarded in a 3-2?
If they play 2-3, that disrupts your inside scoring game? Somebody teach me.
The Zone defense (X -Y) has X defenders focus guarding the perimeter shots and Y defenders focusing on the inside ones.
So 3-2 is more focused/used against teams which will take outside/3s while 2-3 will try to contain those who mostly come into the paint.
If your team doesn't have any outside (PER) scoring, then expect them to play 2-3, and if your team mostly jack 3s, then expect them to play 3-2.
Sometime coaches who play zone while also positioning their defense opposite of the focus (ex. playing 2-3 but setting their positioning to +2) to hedge their bets.
When constructing your game plan, you *should* prepare for the coach to play either defense alignment (i.e set up game plan to play vs 2-3 and another to play vs. 3-2) else you might have some old distro which doesn't align with your intended game plan.
