How do I run a zone offense?

Zone Offense -Gap Alignment

To start your zone offense it is a good idea to get in a "GAP ALIGNMENT". Against an even front zone(2-1-2, or 2-3)get in an odd front set(1-3-1,1-2-2 or 1-4). Against an odd front zone, get in an even front set. This is to make 2 defenders think about which one should guard you. If a defender is in a direct line between you and the basket-MOVE. Basically, put players where the defense isn´t.
