One criticism I have of the system on the press, is the lack of the double team with a corner entry pass. We seem to want to create TOs on the entry pass, and if the timing is right perhaps a 10 second violation, but I think we are missing the opportunity to really create TOs on that second pass. Bucky knows way more than me, but I would be doubling that corner entry hard, and swing that rotating defender to the entry receivers closest player. I get that if we miss that pass, they can swing down court and get an easy dunk, but I think we would create more havoc and TOs (and easy baskets) if we pressed a little more (not less).


We do this at least like seven times a game. We even did get a couple of turnovers on it Saturday. One where Dibba missed the layup, another time I think they stepped out of bounds.


Dibba is dam brick layer. He is a very interesting player he can drive but is a very weak finisher who can't jump at all, on his shot or drives. One time just try throw it down on someone.

Bob Knight always said you can't beat a good team with a press. On some level, this year has proven that point. As others have said, it should look different when Bucky gets to recruit full classes to better match his system.

I still think most people are vastly overrating how much we actually press.

I totally agree. I wish we pressed more and better, but I also see why that's an issue.
It's pronounced thermometer
