this is one of the rare cases where your choices on offense really impact your defense. Try running slow tactics - i.e. Patient, Low Post or Princeton. The slower the game, the less fouls he'll get.

I don't think I have seen massive differences between M2M and Zones with regard to foul proneness. Just keep your hands away from FCP, that'd speed up the game.

i am only playing this game for 2 seasons but from this little experience i can say that foul prone players consistently commit fouls whatever defensive tactic you use :) the only thing you can do is slow down the tempo, as said above.

I have a guard who has a fouling problem. He is always high on it.

But I noticed that when I play 3-2 zone in stead of man to man, he tend to foul less.

Does he have very different values for inside versus outside defense?

He plays point guard, so yes his outside defense is way better than his inside defense.

Well, obviously his OD is gonna be better than his ID. What I'm getting at is if his ID is really poor, even for a guard (1-3 maybe), then some of his foul problems in M2M may result from his opponent driving on him, or during inside shots. In principle I can see 3-2 zone helping reduce foul trouble for a guy like that.

Whether it actually helps is another question.

His inside defense is 6 and outside 11. I have trained him since he was 18 and I don't see much difference in fouling since his defense went up. Only when I play 3-2 I see that he fouls lesser than when I play man to man.

hmm, interesting. I would have thought 6 ID on a guard would be pretty good. Perhaps the zone defense is doing something different that reduces propensity to foul.

Are very foul prone players even worth training to higher levels? If you notice your rookie is getting 4 or 5 fouls a game in 48 minutes or so, is it best to just cut your losses and find a new trainee?
