Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 2058945, member: 57"] We have seen the press turn around a big deficit against Virgina and now against NC State. Two huge turnarounds in our last 25 or so games. Interestingly enough, both turnarounds came against teams with absolutely outstanding guards. Obviously, this means that we do have a press that has the potential to be effective. Using the press does have a couple of disadvantages: 1. For a team with little depth it does take a lot more energy than just dropping into the Zone. 2. There is risk of the press being broken with over the top passes that can lead to easy layups. However, all of that being said, I do not understand why we wait until the situation is totally desperate before unleashing our press. What's wrong with just using it to change tempo for a few minutes here and there in close games or games where we are ahead but where the big mo is changing (FSU game would be perfect example) ?
