Full court press

**Cycofan1** · 02-18-2009, 09:21 PM

Maybe we could run some full court press during the games sometimes and maybe just maybe we could get some wins. I don't know just a thought.

or even half court press. kinda tired of waiting for them to come to the 3 point line before we start guarding people

ya dude did u see us do it tonight? evey time we were in a press they had a 2 on 1 at the end with morningstar and aldrich EVERYTIME we fullcourt pressed them. we dont have the athletes to be able to read where the pass is going and STEAL it. not a good idea in my mind. at the end of the game and we need a steal? thats fine. but not in the middle of the game.

People already complain of our lack of athleticism, we'd be even more screwed in a full court press.

There are not the athletes on this team to run it. Do you really want to give up 100 pts a game when you cannot score 70?

Or a one man press. Just something.

the times when we ran it and were sucessful that i remember most were the days with WILL BLALOCK (very athletic), Curtis Stinson (athletic), Rahshon Clark (athletic freak). the one player that is athletic on this team is Craig and hes not quick enough. DG is good but thats it

maybe if they practiced it more it would be more effective. especially since there running it against the #16 team in the nation thats why it doesn't work. They start picking them up at the 3 point line. which is doing nothing.

White men cannot press.

**cymonson** · 02-18-2009, 09:33 PM

saying weve only done it four times the whole year or so can go both ways. Maybe kansas didnt expect it and they still beat it with ease

Morningstar does the one man press. Maybe we could win if we didnt start 0 for 7 at the 3 point line. Maybe we could make more 3's like we did the in non-confrence games because Coach Mac had the team shooting a lot of extra shots after practice.
