Might make teams think twice about rolling the ball past half court every possession. Our defense is good enough that our opponents feel they need a few extra seconds.
That’s because the wind is blowing himSure. You'd have to be OK with giving Howard Washington, Brycen, and Edwards a much larger role and 10+ minutes though as we will need all 9 guys no quick hooks. And consciously rest the starters regardless of how they are performing.
But the 4 guys who don't start those 3 and Guerrier would be PERFECT for this. Edwards moves like the wind for a guy his height.
Our press stinks though
2 and 1s...We'll either give up easy layups, or Sidibe will have 2 fouls by the 1st minute.
Or both.
Nah. The game has changed. If you can't go 40 minutes of full court press, you aren't in very good shape.Sure.

I did not say we stay in a full-court press. I said open with it. One possession.
I'd like us to use some pressure to narrow the window for the other team to get a good shot by having someone dog the PG moving downcourt and trapping at mid-court, then settling back into the zone if we can't get the ball. That and go into a press for a few minute when it's not expected, like at the beginning of a half or out of a time-out.
