Your last part about offensive rebounds in 2-3 zone. How true is that when 2-3 zone is played with a fast pace offensive attack. Lets say for example run &gun. What would be the offensive rebound spread advantage ratio. For example 2-1 or 3-2 in ratio versus the opponent etc.
*Meaning for every 2 offensive rebounds I create the opponent gets 1.How true is that overall regardless of skills , or what is the common spread advantage?*. If its Ok to ask
It's always okay to ask :-)
I am not sure I see a relationship though....Because when I set my defense to play 2-3 zone, and in that moment(s) when I on defense playing 2-3 zone, it makes no difference what offense I am running after the change of possession...or to look at it in reverse...how or why would my offensive rebounds be affected by what defensive set I was using 20 seconds ago on the other end of the court while playing defense?
In basketball you can't play offensive and defense at the same time...now, your defense can indeed fuel your offensive attack...but even still...if I play a 2-3 zone with a mindset of getting more defensive rebounds so I can ignite my fast break attack; that defensive philosophy or plan has no impact down on the other end of the court attempting to rebound one of my own misses. And using this example of RnG as the compliment to 2-3 zone, it makes even less sense that offensive rebounds would increase...Because RnG has almost the opposite effect of 2-3 zone, because in RnG everyone fly's down the court, and takes the first available shot...there is not a designed post presence, and often bigs are are on the wing looking for their shot instead of going down low...so this even further illustrates the silliness of offensive rebounds increasing in 2-3 zone because you'd probably have less guys in or around the paint on offense going for rebounds.
Of course, the RnG illustration is just one example, but again, like I first said, the offense and defensive game plans wouldn't really affect each other as far as rebounding on each end of the court...so the offensive tactic doesn't really matter anyway.
