In response to the original question posted, I have some anecdotal information. I played Slovenia in a scrimmage last night. He used Push the Ball and I, thinking he might, used 3-2 zone. He won the game 105-80. Granted, my NT is Thailand and we are very weak, with only 8 active teams from which to draw, but still losing by 25 suggests that 3-2 zone against Push the Ball might not always (or ever) be the way to go.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Playing 3-2 Zone against Slovenija's Push The Ball didn't really make a difference.

He outrebounded you by a large margin and passed the ball very well.

They also defended the inside better than you.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

just a follow up here, i won the game. (1004301) i started both my pg's and both my bigs had a great game. i went with the plan of slowing his high paced game down to a speed i play at, and it seemed to work(used 3-2 and low post.) I kept the turnovers to less than 20, and i think that is really what did it for me.
