Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 4835816, member: 363"] Red said they play the games in 4 minute intervals. Well how about pressing in 4 minute intervals. Maybe something like first 4 minutes, 8-12 and last 4 minutes of the first half, see where it goes. If it's a disaster after the first two times then maybe you go away from it. I do agree that it should probably be tested as a method to gain a lead as opposed to desperation tactic to try and get back into a game. You certainly need to come out firing this way as well and kids will need to respond accordingly because if they don't it will be 14-2 in no time with 3-4 easy lay ups/ dunks on the other end You also work your rotations accordingly. Kid have to realize probably going with a much deeper bench and the days of ironman minutes for almost everyone are probably done. It's caveman basketball. Play with pace, energy and effort and when it's time for some rest you will get it. [/QUOTE]
