Title: Full Court Press
Post by: MU B2002 on December 10, 2008, 01:53:42 PM
Do we ever run a full court press?  I can't really recall seeing it very often, but I would think we had enough team speed to be effective.

Problem is no big guy to hold down the fort. Would love to see us full court press 40 minutes a game.

I think the era of full court presses for 40 minutes being effective has pretty much officially ended.  I mean, the "40 minutes of hell" that Nolan Richardson used to run, and even the pressing that Rick Pitino did, isn't used much anymore.  Kids coming out today have seen them and know how to beat them.  They are inherently weaker defenses and really should be only used as a change up.
