You do not need to move to officiate a one-on-one match-up either when your partner has it covered. Unless the ball comes down into the post or the potential for the ball coming to the low block, I would not rotate as quickly. Also a match-up zone is a little different because it is like a man-to-man defense with zone principles.

That's how I do it as well. As I said before, I was just fishing for other thoughts to see if maybe there was a better way to approach these plays. I do, however, prefer the terminology of a match up zone having MANTOMANPRINCIPLES! All due respect to Bill R.
