I did never state that 2-3 Zone is the best defense against an outside offense. I suggest you read my posts again and really read what I say there, instead of just quoting something out of the rules which is not really relevant if you compare it to my examples.

(don't feel attacked btw, just not really easy to find the good words in english ;))

This game is a good example btw for my point of view:

The original poster said this:

Is here a defensive tactic that is best against motion? Thanks.


You said:

I'd say 2-3 Zone


Did I miss something here?

correct,
you stated that with the given skills it is not necessary to defend at long range, so it might be better te defend inside, so you can grab more rebounds...
This is indeed something else than telling you said that the best defense against an outside offense is to defend inside.

I played motion last night and didn't realy look for great outside shooters in my line-up, in fact I had a few good ones, but I also played 6 centers out of the 10 players.
The first 2 quarters I shot poorly indeed, but I had 2 on 5 and 5 on 11 in the final 2 quarters. Even if you can grab all defensive rebounds on the missed attempts, I will still end on top in points in the final 2 quarters, looking just at 3 pointers.
I guess if you realy do look at which players you put in the team, and play outside offense, one might truly need an outside defense in order to be able to win.
Not everyone thinks the same way ofcourse... luckely... and everyone can do as he sees fit. ;)

Yes that is what I ment. The opponent of the topic starter did shoot only 3 out of 25 or something with his motion vs an awful perimeter defense in his game before the one vs the topic starters.
If I were a coach in real life, I wouldn't be afraid at all when my opponent shoots like that, I would just cover every inside part and let them shoot.

true.

yet I also understand Juicepats' reaction , since if people would read this tread they might get the idea they should best defend inside against an outside defense in any situation, and he tried to make clear this is not the case.

So in a way you are both right. And succeded in confusing one and other.

Patjebono is a kind of a "conditional gambler" which means "Let opponent shoot from outside, if they are lousy shooters every rebound is mine and they are finished. End of story."
On the other hand, natural counter-tactic for outside shooting based opponents is 3-2 (if they are "not so good") or 1-3-1 (if they are really good).

I can tell you about ratings... You will have better Inside Def rating, and weaker Perimeter Defense rating than usual... I was really surprised with the difference... I'll post here my ratings with two different game tactics...

Team ratings for
Punoglavci Citluk

Offensive Strategy: Run and Gun
Defensive Strategy: Man to Man

Outside Scoring: mediocre (low)
Inside Scoring: awful (low)
Perimeter Defense: mediocre (low)
Inside Defense: inept (medium)
Rebounding: inept (low)
Offensive Flow: inept (low)


And the other game:

Team ratings for
Punoglavci Citluk

Offensive Strategy: Push the Ball
Defensive Strategy: 2-3 Zone

Outside Scoring: awful (high)
Inside Scoring: awful (high)
Perimeter Defense: awful (medium)
Inside Defense: mediocre (medium)
Rebounding: mediocre (low)
Offensive Flow: inept (low)

Offensive flow is the only thing that stays the same for me when I play like this... And somewhat the Inside Scoring... Everything else is different...
