Never have seen this suggested before so figured it was worth a thought.

Wonder how Pressing one play then calling it off every 3-4 minutes could change the dynamics of the game vs pressing 4-5 plays in a row and giving them time to adjust to it.

That would lead to say 12 possessions where we press throughout the game, meanwhile no back to back possessions where we do.

We have the motor, three point guards and three centers to go that route, so we do have the depth. It could also force them to use their timeouts alot earlier, and expose ball handling weaknesses early in the game that the zone will not against teams like st johns and gtown.

College basketball is a game of adjustments that's what leads to runs. Momentum is built one you successfully complete something 3-4 plays in a row. That's what Miami did to us, they put the aggressive defensive pressure on for 5-6 straight possessions at the 4 minute mark and went on a run to win the game.

Just food for thought ;)
