Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 3219662, member: 393"] I don't disagree with that - especially when trying to run the 1-2-1-1 full court press with the chaser in the front and the guards trying to deny the first entry pass. Ironically, this is THE most aggressive press in basketball, is physically demanding, and that's the only press we run, and only when desperate. I think what's getting lost in the wash is that there are many different types of "presses" with variations within the press, and different objectives. The 2-2-1 can be run without traps and using moderate ball pressure. It forces the O to have to reverse the ball or use a couple of extra passes before they can start to run their typical sets. Takes time off the clock and somewhat disrupts the natural flow. [/QUOTE]
