Why would a team choose to employ a zone defense over a person to person defense?

Answer: Zone defense is less physically demanding than man-to-man, meaning your team should have more energy throughout the game. It's a good defensive strategy to use when your opponent has a player that does not match with one defender, either in speed or size. Offense can't exploit weak defenders.

Hope this helps (:
