Guarding driving(players) needs ID more than OD to stop him depending on his driving skills, he will get past the Od everytime . Now a zone can do that( defend the driving), but again this depends on the next man skills in the zone. also the team passing lane defense( keep in mind in zone there no sure solid player to guard, If your team is caught slaking in the zone because they cant match the speed of the driving in the passing lanes ,a lot fouls will be called. because again every offensive tactic has choices. what ever is working it turn the heat or it s advantage. It could be sf doing the driving on your tea with high passing finding your guard in bad position... A pure nightmare for any team a passing sf
Watch your game closes you will see what im saying. I think ID 6 on guards is good enough and considered a minimum IMo, make your sure sb is at least 7 on guards. If not in those minimums you cant play any zones, to much team liability . The higher the better depending your league strength.
Probably I didn't understand something, but guards have much driving (at least 10) than ID (rarely over 10), so will they (PG vs PG) suffer everytime an inside offence?
For me, or better for what I've read, driving works on OD and ID works against IS.
Maybe OD works if the opponent starts driving from outside (DRvsOD) and ID is involved when the driving is near the basket (DRvsID).
