Does anyone have any experience (or can find something explicit from the BBs) that indicates how zone defenses calculate defensive rebounding. Does the place in the zone count or is it the position being played? (or some combination of the two?)

Two examples/questions to illustrate what I am asking:

3-2 zone: Since both the SF and the SG are on the perimeter in this zone do both of them have an equal chance to grab the board? Do they test against their opposite position or is it based on who is in their zone when the ball goes up?
2-3 zone: Would the PF and SF matter the same amount since they're both on the sides downlow?

Does that make sense?

(please no wild guesses without any evidence)

In my experience the SF in a 3-2 zone shifts from perimiter to interior as needed. A well trained SF has made as many rebounds as the big men on my team. It is counter to what the manual and game documents say, that 3-2 reduces rebounding. Just train your SF in rebounds.

I appreciate your input but, and I am not trying to be a jerk, but you've only ever played 3-2 zone twice.

This will sound harsh but when I said that I was hoping to avoid wild guesses without evidence this is kind of the sort of thing I was hoping to avoid.

Seriously? Talking down to a responder is really classless. Your first statement clearly asks for "any" experience. This man took the time to reply in a fairly well thought out post and you belittle in front of all. Granted his experience with the 3-2 is a small sample size but you didn't exactly ask for months of research. If you find the answer to your questions here to be unsatisfactory, just wait until the Aussies come on. I really love the part when you say "I don't want to sound like a jerk" and then go total jackass on him. Like it totally ruined your day. Get over yourself.

So here we go. I have zero experience running 3-2 but common sense says the higher your wings rebounding the better they rebound and if one is significantly better than the other they just might feel like getting to that board. There you go.

a tipp maybe you could check the coach parrot for values, but i esxpect to see some differences in importance but smaller then in man to man.

Chris and Yuck. First thank you for defending me. I'm sorry this turned into a discussion. Chris I accept your views as part of the culture and your apologetic tone I do not , not , think you've been rude. Thank you. Yes, experience is something here. Let me add a fact. It's not my first account here but I don't like to talk about the past. My previous team was a D IV that ran 3-2 regularly because my SF got +10 rebounds often. My current D V team is lucky if they are proper skills in anything, but I do have some respectable skills.
For me, it's a matter of smiles.
