What you just explained implied otherwise. By forcing outisde players to take outside shots if they can't get it inside (which is what the zone is for) that is hurting outside players. My inside players rarely had to create their own shot and simply completed passes from outside players when they got the ball with a 'drop step' or 'alley oop'. I am looking beyond what the general explaination states and picking apart how it works. if he played man to man or 3-2 would my inside players have had an even larger spike in performance? or would the passing lanes be more clogged from outside players with a 3-2 zone thus preventing as many alley oops and easy baskets for the inside players?
