You might try running and gunning yourself and counter his with a 3-2 or a 1-3-1 (if you have great rebounding). Good luck!

defense depends squarely on the type of players he has and his usual selection of offensive tactics. so if he's going run and gun then you should look to counter that with a 3-2 zone. if his inside players are really bad and can't rebound then by all means go with a 1-3-1 zone. in terms of your offense you can only play to your strengths with little regard for how he'll handle it. find your best player that can make an impact and make sure he gets the ball. if that still doesn't work in getting you the win then i would have to suggest patience. keep training consistently. don't change it up just because of the result of one game. before you know it you'll have players that will make users post in forums asking for advice on how to counter.

if your opponent always plays that same tactic, and he is better on all fronts, you might try something extreme as well.
I didn't do that myself, since I didn't have the need yet, but If I where in your place I'd field 5 outside players (yes even at PF and C positions) and play motion or run and gun (since he always defends 2-3 anyway), and probably would go for a man to man or 3-2 defense...
It probably won't win you the game, but it sure will be a surprise, and you never know. ;)

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

If I were you (and not me) I would put your best rebounder at C then field your four best perimeter defenders, and match them up against what you suspect is his/her best shooters. Then play 1-3-1 zone.

i.e. Your best perimeter D guy should play the guy who scores the most for him . 2nd best D against 2nd best O and so on.

To counter a 2-3 run something slow paced since he is better. If you have two guys who have good JR play princeton. Sure your inside game will be hampered, but your coach will make adjustments and you'll shoot more 3s as the game goes on. Hopefully you'll be close still and may have a chance.

If you have no good passing bigs and no good JR guys, I would play patient to keep the game close and it is well balanced (meaning easier to make adjustments mid game), or run motion and pray your shots fall. I don't know your team so I think this covers all three scenarios.
