Zone Defense

Zone defense is a type of defense, used in team sports, which is the alternative to man-to-man defense; instead of each player guarding a corresponding player on the other team, each defensive player is given an area known as a "zone" to cover.

A zone defense can be used in virtually all sports where defensive players guard players on the other team.

    Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)

    The cliché organizes life; it expropriates people’s identity; it becomes ruler, defense lawyer, judge, and the law.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
