Question

Give two differences between ‘zone-defense’ and ‘man-to-man defense’.

Answer 1

Zone Defense	Man-to-Man Defense
Players are assigned to defend particular areas of the court.	Players are responsible for marking a particular opponent.
It helps save energy and works well against teams that are weak in outside shooting.	It demands greater stamina and speed, as players must continuously follow their opponents.
Communication among defenders is simpler because players remain within their assigned zones.	It demands strong communication and awareness to switch assignments or provide defensive help.
