Outside Box and 1 isnt ur best offensive Defender Guarding them its ur team focusing on the other teams best outside Shooter. its like a 4-1 Zone where 4 people guard the outside and 1 guy guards the paint( not a good idea) that is why im sticking to Inside Box and 1 because id rather have them make 3s than hit layups

Box-and-one is a defensive tactic, where four players play in the zone defense protecting the basket and the fifth player plays a man-to-man defense guarding the best offensive player on the other team. This is designed to prevent that player from getting the ball as often, as the man to man defender can overplay defensively knowing that he has a zone backup.

In a box-and-one defense, four players play zone defense, and align themselves in a box protecting the basket, with typically the two larger (or frontcourt) players playing directly under the basket, and the two smaller (or backcourt) players playing towards the foul line.

The fifth defensive player in a box-and-one defense plays man to man defense, typically marking the best offensive player on the other team.
