2-3 Zone Defense - Ball in the High Post

In the 2-3 Zone Defense you want to avoid the ball going to the High Post at all cost!

If it happens anyways, a good passer has 4 passing options which makes it very hard to defend.

Our goal is to pack the zone and prevent a high-low pass. At the same time, defenders need to be prepared to close out on shooters after a pass.
