I read your advice, then wanted to see some positive examples of zone, then looked at your play off games.

The main point is 3-2 zone falters, i.e. throws unexpected break downs. And it was news to me, cause I'd only read positive stuff about it.
Even if you think that the positives outweigh the break downs, like Manon, it's helpful if you're aware of them for when you choose this tactic.

As for 2-3 zone, just consider one thing: If you're up with 2 mins left, your opponent start chucking up 3s regardless of his tactics. Against any other tactics (incl.3-2) it takes any chances of come back away, but against 2-3 zone... Well, I actually haven't seen a team playing 2-3 zone leading too many times :)

This, I can agree with.

You are both right and wrong. The opponents do start jacking threes, but I have seen some teams in B3 and league level win using 2-3 zone. I'm too lazy to look it up, though.

the thing with 2-3 is that you had to be old school with your SF, must dudes play it with a guard like SF who weaken you inside and the 2-3 hurts you outside.

The 3-2 Zone fit better to the normal teams, but imho you don't need special player to play both of this tactics. 1-3-1 is maybe the zone where you should have a special PF.
