The long and short of this is:

Always be poaching, unless you can't be poaching.

I think you're pretty much right. If you watch basketball teams play defense it's constant sagging off players who aren't presenting a threat.

The only reason I might not fully agree w/ your description is I worry that to frisbee players, the word "poaching" has specific connotations of 'getting in a passing lane to intercept a throw'. But in my mind, the ideas in this article are pointing at a somewhat more general concept of 'be in the right position'/'clog up the field'.

Yes, most players aren't good at managing space and knowing when they can and can't recover.
