Basketball Plays 3-2 Zone Attack

Both of these plays to attack a 3-2 zone defense came from University of Arkansas (Formerly Washington Huskies) Womens’ Head Coach Mike Neighbors weekly basketball coaching email newsletter.

His newsletter was one, of if not the first basketball coaching newsletters around.

He started it as a high school coach in the mid 90s and continued it as he moved into college coaching as an assistant, and now as he is completing his first year as a Division I Head Coach.

If you are interested in being added to his list, let me know and I will forward your email address on to Coach Neighbors.
