Zone

What is the number one thing you need to do when playing against a 2-3 zone defense?

You attack the holes and kick out; you keep the ball moving and when holes develop, exploit them.

My teammates could not seem to understand this today. For them, the best way to play against a zone defense was to allow one person to guard 2-3 people because of poor spacing on our part and to never, ever attack the holes. Of the utmost importance was to have one guy standing around at the top of the key showcasing his fancy dribbling skills the whole while neglecting all manner of picks and would-be rolls while everyone else worked hard at getting open. It was a bit frustrating.
