2-3 Zone DillemaSince the implementation of the new game engine a new school of thought that has arose is that the 2-3 zone is far less effective than it used to be in the old game engine. Advocates of this theory maintain that against an inside team it is now far more effective to use a 3-2 zone in order to prevent the opposing teams’ guards from getting the ball into their post players. The logic behind this is that with the new GE putting a stronger emphasis on passing it is much easier to stop the opposing team’s guards (which probably didn’t receive enough passing training under the old GE) from finding their big men in the post.
