Just wondering what yalls thoughts are on full court pressing more throughout the game?

With our length we seem to have decent success with it every time we go to it. Also seems to have an impact on our energy/hustle level.

Seems like I remember reading here that Kennedy was going to recruit to a team that would have that ability. I think we have a few players that could do well with that and wish we would see it more.

No, we'd be exhausted in about three minutes.

We can barely make it back on defense now, plus it's hard to,press when you constantly miss shot and turn the ball over

We don't have nearly enough guys who are quick enough, athletic enough, in shape enough or who simply care enough to play press defense, even for a minute or two.

Yes. We will lose a lot more if we don't.

NO.

Take a look at west virginias lineup. Then look at ours. We would get burned so hard if we tried to press for more than a few possessions in a row.

Now a half court 1-3-1 trap? I could see that working a few possessions a game.

It really doesn't matter. We don't do one thing well except press when we are down.
