Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3441803, member: 730"] You make a lot of good points. I am not suggesting that in every game Geno employ what I have said nor am I saying that should be "the lineup". I agree that star players would go elsewhere. I don't state that this is going to be the "New UConn style of play". While I enjoyed watching Rutgers stymie less talented teams with their press I agree, like Geno has stated, that good guards/passers can break any press. But there are a limited number of good guards in college and on many teams there is but one, who is going to expend a lot of energy defeating that press. Tired guards miss shots in the second half. There are going to games next year when ONO picks up a second foul midway through the second period. With Westbrook, Bueckers and Griffin already on the court Geno can pull ONO and the 5th player and insert McClean and Edwards or Muhl and press/trap a team that is usually tired and likely to make mistakes that lead to easy transition baskets. It isn't as if Geno hasn't done this before. [/QUOTE]
