Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4204211, member: 5787"] Hi all, I'm in the midst of a marathon coaching week, coaching every day from Monday-Thursday. Off Friday to spend Friday night at UConn and then watching the Xavier game. Overall a solid week. Lost both games by 5, so there's good progress there. The first game, the ref said the funniest thing: [I]listen, I've never gotten a call wrong, but I messed up there.[/I] Anyways, my 7th grade team (I freakin' love this team) has a bit of a conundrum. We have a game tomorrow that is on the eve of a four day Presidents' Day weekend. Due to that, I have just six players who will be in school tomorrow. Thankfully, this includes three of my best players, two active kids who can defend but just have sub-par skills, and one kid who has average skills, but sub-par fitness. We've never done zone this season, but I might want to try it for tomorrow's game to keep the players fresh. I was thinking a 2-1-2 zone with my best defender (a 5'10 kid who's also my best shooter/handler/etc) in the middle of the zone. What do you all think? Or, I could just stick to man the whole game. We can only press in the last two minutes of the game, which has gone amazingly (about 18 points scored in about 4 minutes of press D). Thanks! [/QUOTE]
