[QUOTE="sabach, post: 1616748, member: 866"]
I started three years ago with a very young team with very little talent and athletic ability.  Figured we did not have the ability to man up (or woman up) another team. As Rafftery would say, I do use "Man to Man" principles in the 2-3.  Another thing is that most teams cannot shoot very well from outside.  Our team is better suited to pack in the zone and rebound the missed shots.
We work on rebounding at least every other practice, especially on positioning and catching the ball.  Some of my girls would make Jeremy McNeil look like OBJ.
We also work on positional work (post players) about once per week.  The guards work on catch/set/shoot at the same time.  We have limited time as we only practice 2 times per week once games start.
End game situations are usually practiced as part of a scrimmage at the end where I will give the team the score and time and see what we can do.  Oddly enough, we have only had one game in three years that came down to the very end, (this year at Binghamton) and my player shot at the wrong basket after our inbounds play broke down as we were trying to inbound to go the length of the court for a game tying 3. I now secretly call that girl Paul Harris.  
I hope in this post that I have not come across as too crtiical of my team. I love the girls and I guess it is just the coach that tries to see where they can improve at every stage.
