then I run a 3-2 to compensate for the poor OD of the SF defense unless the other team has really 2 really great post players.


This is actually the worst thing you can do if the SF has no outside d. It means the SF will defend the perimeter the majority of the time. So about 2/3 of the time he will guard my best playmaker or my best outside shooter. A recipe for disaster.

If I was going up against your team and I knew you were going to do this, I would run a run and gun or motion and watch you get smoked on the perimeter.

Anyway, yeah, I think my experience is that throwing in the towel at serious SF training at the higher levels, if you are in a country with lots of divisions, is probably the smart thing to do.


Kind of weird that there are at least two serious SF trainers in Canada's division I.

I personally think differently than you. It can be a pretty good way to get to the top, as you can use your huge training profits to buy the other pieces to the puzzle. And if done right, you can pick up the matching pieces at other positions but no one can match you at SF (unless they also trained SFs or saved up a lot of cash to buy one).

Not to mention that if you train your SFs properly, you can keep their salaries very low until they are ready for primetime.

So what should one do?I guess not play a 2-3 zone...
I am facing a team that scores great from outside but my SF has OD at 7 (not good for my league) shouldn't i play a 3-2 or even 1-3-1 zone?If no what should i do?(apart from getting a better SF)

Hello, I am new to buzzbeater, and I was wondering what is the benefit of training my SF and guards for inside defense?

The benefit would be if they are guarding somebody who is going to take inside shots as opposed to outside shots. This could be because of the skills of the player he is guarding (High DR/IS, Low JS/JR) or the tactics of your opponent(Look Inside/Low Post).

It would be a lot more important to give your SF some ID because he has to be able to guard inside and outside.
