Chief is all for playing faster but I don’t think it needs to be press dependent. Against good teams the press is a high risk preposition and should only be applied with the element of surprise for short periods. Coach Calhoun came to that conclusion after being reliant on it during the Henefeld years.
Having said that Chief is in favor of half court pressure and at times picking up the dribbler when the ball passes half court. Running though is really the concept of running off  turnovers or missed shots. Most importantly it’s a mindset that quite frankly I haven’t seen with Danny’s teams. It’s a rebounder immediately thinking outlet pass and the guards knowing to get to the hash marks or reading the defense and breaking down court. Guys have to fill the lanes and get to the rim or their 3 sweet spots.
Chief is also in favor of probing to run off of made shots. You want to keep trying to wear down your opponent mentally by constantly putting them back on their heals.
