The only blanket no zone rule I've worked with allowed a double team, but no triple, if the ball was in the paint. This way, even if the the offense used an isolation play to take one defender out, they were also taking out a weapon of their own to use in beating the double team. I thought that worked pretty well.
The ball handler in the paint could draw a double team, but all other defenders had to stay on their person, and that meant facing their person, or within about 2 feet. If a defender tried to sort of slither off and pretend to guard while actually guarding the ball handler, it was a defensive violation, and we had the option to call it, and put the ball back in with a throw-in. When the refs enforced it strictly, it pretty well put the kibosh on the isolation play.
