Syracuse 2-3 Zone.

(one side) SF pops out to defend perimeter when needed.

(other side) PF stays closer to basket, G slides to wing when necessary. other G and SF rotate over and out.

(middle) C protects basket.

You just use the wrong players if 2-3 wont work for you.

Syracuse plays a 2-3 thats long enough to where it functions almost as a hybrid 3-2.

The problem with the 2-1-2 as you called it, is the corners and baselines. the 2-3 gives up that mid-range jumper because its a low percentage shot, particularly at the NCAA level, in exchange for traps and contested shots in the corner.
