What is the difference between Look inside/Low post, what is Princeton, and what is Patient

I answered this somewhat on Global, but I'll go more in-depth here.

Look Inside (LI) and Low Post (LP) both have an inside focus. LI has a slightly faster pace than Base Offense, whereas LP has a somewhat slower offensive speed. The main difference that I've experienced in using both LI and LP is that when you play LP, your team is far more reliant on your C and PF for scoring than when playing LI. LI seems to be more like a base offense, only with more shots taken from 2-point range than from behind the 3pt arc.

Princeton offense involves using an inside focus to free up perimeter players for open 3pt shots (at least in theory). Princeton also employs a slower pace than the standard Base Offense, and your guards and SF should take a slightly higher amount of 3pt shots than they would in Base Offense. It's a handy offense for teams with good inside scoring and decent perimeter shooters that are matched against teams with good inside defense.

Patient is basically the same as Base Offense, but your players will play a slightly slower pace, passing the ball around more and trying to find a good open shot. Games tend to have rather low scores when someone plays Patient (unless that team is either overwhelmed or their opponent plays Run & Gun).

Hope that helps a bit

How I should attack against 3-2 zone team .

Look Inside or Low Post for the inside shooting focus. 3-2 zone is increasing perimeter defense while weakening inside defense.

Hi all! I have very important cup match tomorrow only 8 remaining, and I got quite difficult team against, so he always play look inside in offense and 3-2 zone in defense.
Problem is that he have respectable inside scoring.

I also look couple of his games, he have won almost every one of them, and 90 % of teams are playing 2-3 zone against him, but they have all loose + 30 p, and someone played man to man d and he only lost by 3, it may be that the other team played take it easy, but he still had respectable inside scoring, i ve thinking that i should play 2-3 zone in d and look inside on offense. but man to man may have also be good one, so what do you guys think ?

1st thing that I have to tell you: don't compare teams, compare stats which you see at the end of a game...So, if he always plays inside, you have to put 2-3, no question about this. But, take in count his guards and their higher shot %...but if he plays inside, this is not a big problem
Offensive tactic is also not a problem ,if he plays 3-2 defense. So, hope he won't change tactics on your match ;)
