One team had to be kicked out of B3 because 3rd slot for team from Poland was needed. Sorry for inconvenience.

Dude, 2-3 zone just doesn't work. It's proved. I've tried everything, starting from high shot blocking, 2-3 zone, and nothing stops Look Inside more than the neutral Man to Man.

In my opinion, 2-3 zone and shot blocking totally don't justify the myth that they stop LI. We (they, actually) need to fix 2-3 zone and make it a real effective defensive tactic against LI.

Otherwise, 99.9% of B3 teams will continue to play LI and M2M.

Maybe high shot blocking is needed for guards not for the bigs?:D To make chasedown blocks like lebron does?

I know mate, I've tried it so many times, with club, NT and etc, but its just not effective.
Those who say that's not true, they just have some myths, SB+ Defense, Guards... but everyone knows what's the best strategy in this GE, LI m2m rules.

This is where we hold them!

I think, to run effective 2-3 zone a team needs to have all players with high OD,ID,SHB not only Centers and if you have high RB you will have a high advantage against LI.

Has it occurred to you that maybe using a 2-3 zone isn't so much about your players, but your opponents?

My theory is the following: The 2-3 zone only works against a certain type for opponents. It has pros and cons.

pros:
- improved rebounding
- improved inside defense

cons:
- more space for outside shooters and drivers
- open passing lanes

When the opponent has guards who are good shooters (JS+JR) and/or drivers (DV+IS) the 2-3 zone helps them (especially without weakside shotblocking). High playmaking ability (PA+HN) is enhanced with a 2-3 zone and leads to great passes from the guards to the inside players i.e. higher percentage shots for the big men. The second part is the biggest issue why 2-3 zones often seem to "fail" IMO. Just look at the assist-to-turnover ratios of your opponents against 2-3 zones.

Often the cons outweigh the pros. The current set of players in BB makes the 2-3 zone ineffective against most good teams. This is especially true in high end competitions like the B3.

I actually think the same (with different skillsets of course) holds for the 3-2 zone, it's just very few players teams (if any) have the personnel to "beat" a 3-2 zone.

In general, my belief is that well balanced players "kill" zones.

P.S. For more details read my post a dozen posts earlier.
