I voted No. Don't think this adds anything to the game. It can even have a negative effect, since the more info you have about tactics, the less mistery is there to the final outcome.

Furthermore, you could easily guess what offense your oponent is playing by looking at the shot distribution during the match.
Defense used can also be revealed by following the in-game comentary. For example, if you see your opponent's SF is guarding your SG, it is a hint that he's using 3-2.

That's a fair point. So why don't we look at a third, middle-ground option? We have all agreed that it would be nice to have some stats showing up at halftime, just to make it less plain and boring. So why not add some team stats, like "% shots at the rim", "%shots from X to Y feet", "% 3-pointers", to give you some clues to the tactics being deployed. By % I mean percentage of the total shots, but we could also add the info showing how effective each type of shot has been, to see what areas are being defended more efficiently, etc. Just an idea...
