i've heard that using 3-2 zone will help better to protect the inside than 2-3 zone.
in what cases would this be true?
does this always work?
i have a not bad perimeter d team. would this help?

This case only works if your opponent has bad offensive flow and are unable to get the ball inside. So a 3-2 zone increases your OD to prevent the passes inside but if they do get the ball inside, you're screwed.

Generally speaking, playing a 3-2 zone against a inside team is suicide.

3-2 is close to a man to man defence, i don't wonder that is it working from time to time - but i doubt that it is better then a man to man defence.

so are you saying that 3-2 zone would affect the inside scoring of the opponent as same as the man to man?

no but it works quite well against every tactic, and at least in my feeling it was more shot down defense in the past against outside attacks. Today it isn't that evil when i play motion and hear that my opponent play 3-2, then in the old engine or maybe even the first season with the "new" engine.

3-2 also works decently if your big men dominate their big men. It's still not betterthan having man or 2-3 zone for ID but if your bigs can manhandle theirs then you don't risk as much with a 3-2 defense vs ID. I've done it against much lower opponents to give a bump to my guys rebounding and blocks stats. But I still take a hit with the ID rating vs playing man to man or 2-3.
