I am going to play a team soon and that team plays:
Run and Gun for offense
Full Court Press for defense
Would 3-2 (the defensive tactic) be better for the Run and Gun or would 1-3-1 be better?
And for his defense would playing Motion be better because I would get more rebounds in case I miss?
Thanks guys!

if you play 1-3-1 you are going to be giving up a bunch of rebounds as well. Playing 3-2 will allow you to work the outside D more, while still allowing your big men to crash the boards.

Motion probably wouldn't be a bad idea, but only if you have guys you know can take good jump shots. If you have big guys that can work better on offense, use look inside. If you have better shooters, play motion. If it's pretty even, play push the ball or base offense.

eem, 3-2 will help your outside D more?

@thread Starter: both defense are good, 1-3-1 will shoot down his jumpers more then 3-2 but you should be superior in rebounds else he get many second trys.

for offense, play the offense who fits best for your team, and lineup better handling and passing players when possible.

When your outside and inside attack, with the handling lineup are as as strong i would go for look inside.

lol yea i think he made a typo
anyways i used motion for my offence and i believe it made a difference cause i got 12-29 3FG for all of my players
i also used 3-2 for D cause i'm too chicken to risk my rebounding (my team is bad at rebounding as you can see from my previous games)
so yea... using this tactic made me WIN (for the first time XD) by...
101-75 WOOOOOOOOOO

Am I wrong? It says in the rules that 3-2 focuses perimeter D (outside D), and 2-3 focuses on the inside.

thats right, but what did an 2-3 have to do with an 1-3-1 you are talking about, for me thats to different tactics maybe the most opposite defense in game.

ok, I see where I miscommunicated. What I meant to say was that using a 3-2 will allow you to focus on the outside D without giving up the rebounding that a 1-3-1 would, as compared to man to man. Hence, compared to a man to man, a 3-2 would indeed allow you to work the outside defense more.

However, my problem was that I skipped talking about comparing it to the man to man. In regards to 1-3-1 vs 3-2, the 1-3-1 would increase OD much more, but would give up rebounding.

give up rebounding is to hard, if you man to man vs man to man in one level you will still get the most of the def rebs - in my eyes in acceptable manners so that you can go towards 1-3-1 instead of 3-2 against rng and motion.

But the problem is the failure in the prediction, even an ptb will use a lot the weaknesses in your inside defense a lot for easy basket and late in the game the opponent coach normally adjust the game more inside then you defense would become more inside orientated. So it is a bit more risky to play, and the advantage of this tactics are games against stronger teams(where you have to predict right), or games where you are 100% sure of the opposites strategy. Else i would go, for the just slightly weaker 3-2.

right. So I was also recommending that 3-2 would be better, especially in light of the need to rebound well.
