Message: [QUOTE="packwrap, post: 5157333, member: 13341"] This is getting intriquing. Caldwell certainly walking her talk with the 100% commitment to 'press and 3'. There even appears to be no plan B. Caldwell not stupid, I bet she warns other coach they plan to stay with press whole game. In year 1 it makes sense so they learn it. Can't wait to see this against TX, SC and LSU. (and UConn). Iowa game is a good watch. Game was close until last 2 min and Iowa, despite 30 turnovers, had a fine plan to break press. Half their turnovers were post press in half court, and the other half are pretty mind boggling, as they just bungled their press buster. Of course give Tenn some credit, the 40min of pressure for sure can lead to these mental meltdowns. Also the Tenn press even continues in the halfcourt, where they harass and overplay the perimeter. Next year Caldwell will have some of her own recruits and a year of learning vs top of SEC. My prediction is that by year 3, she no longer exclusively presses. This year Tenn will lose 6 conference games, but will get a signature win against some power caught napping; perhaps LSU. On to Oklahoma. [/QUOTE]
