Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2031722, member: 289"] It was another attempt to push away the issue of pressure defense. 'West Virginia is the only team in the country doing it." Doesn't that give them an advantage? "They recruit for it." Couldn't we? "They have great athletes." I thought we did, to. The one answer that would have made sense is that we don't have the depth, which, with the injuries, is now true. Basically, he just prefers to insure the integrity of his half-court defense and try to beat teams in the half court game. He also likes to play his best players as much as possible and doesn't want to run people in an out to keep them fresh for a constant press. It's the conservative approach. i suppose some would call it "meathead basketball". If Hopkins doesn't work out, maybe we can can look for a basketball equivalent of Dino Babers. I think if we pressed for 40 minutes we'd have the 30,000 crowds back again. [/QUOTE]
