More full court press-please!

[TheOkieOrangeman]

When SU plays the full court press we are always behind and it is very effective! We came back against Cincy with it. The same throughout the years. In 2003 Okie State was winning in the tourney by 10-15 points-we played full court press, came back and destroyed them in the end.

I'd like to see more full court press! It doesn't necessarily have to cause turnovers, but I believe it gets the players more into the game.

Pitino (no I'm not a fan of his) used it on Cincy when they were up 10 and opened up the lead more. I wish we would use the full court press more. Not necessarily for long periods of time, but like I said I think it gets the players more into the game. Use it when your ahead and behind.

I know it can give opponents easy baskets but it's worth it and I really haven't seen it cause easy baskets. Any thoughts?

Full court press can get your 5 into foul trouble because he is all alone protecting the basket. We don't have a real good backup for Fab right now so the press will probably be used sparingly in games we need at least one big guy at all times. UNCA may be an exception since their biggest guy is 6'5". We could probably play Dirty at the 5 in a pinch against them. I like the press too though and thing we should use it at least for 5-8min at different points through out each game.
