We sometimes play a 1-3-1 zone in which we cheat toward good shooters and away from weaker shooters. I teach my players to encourage opponents to take outside shots, even to the extent of telling someone "shoot that", not with malicious intent, but the desire of our defense to make them take a low-percentage shot. If we can goad someone into taking a bad shot, what's wrong with that?
