Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 1234916, member: 230"] KJ was the primary that usually took the ball after each Nova basket, but he was always shadowed by one or two Cuse players. We used the pass to the help man to shake off the Nova press and then take it to the lightly defended hoop. Wise move by JB. Wright called off the press for the second half, but he kept Ennis on KJ. Perhaps we should have made an adjustment to let KJ bring it up by himself for the second half so that we would have had 4 players ready in the half court. It would have been a gamble. If KJ could have handled Ennis one on one we would have won the game. For better or worse, he never got the chance. Most big boy teams will play us like Nova did for the second half; no press but full-time pressure on KJ. For us to have a successful season he will have to handle it without being shadowed by Cooney and / or Silent G. [/QUOTE]
