“ZONE OFFENSES— CONCEPTS & PHILOSOPHY”

7. Having a zone continuity offense that has the ability to attack the opposition’s zone with both an inside power attack and also a perimeter attack makes this balanced and two-pronged attack much more unpredictable and therefore much more difficult to defend. An evenly balanced attack both on the interior as well as the perimeter is an integral part of making the zone offense much more successful. The offensive team is not a one dimensional team that has predictability and therefore weaknesses for the opposition’s zone defense. Being balanced offensively prevents the defense from taking away that one weapon the offense has. Being balanced offensively allows the offense to have more than one method, more than one strength and more than one plan of attack.
