A team would be foolish to not press until we show that we can break the press and actually make them pay for pressing.  Even if they keep us out of our offense for 10-12 seconds and make our limited rotation work hard for that period of time, it is a win for the opposition.  So, sure we have to solve the press.  But, I would hope our coaches understand what is coming and see the opportunity to use the opponent's press against them and teach our guys how to score against the press.  There should be open threes.  And our guys can hit open threes.  Personally, I don't think that the press is about ball handling as much as it is about vision, passing and movement.  It seems that our inbounder is content with just making a pass that reaches another player, instead of setting that player up with vision.  Our player is usually cutting straight to the baseline and catches the ball while facing the inbounder.  By the time he secures the ball, another player has doubled him before he has turned, so he has zero vision.  Anyway, I could talk about this all day, but if we watch tonight and we look completely unprepared for the inevitable press then I will be VERY disappointed in our preparation.
