Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 3371347, member: 880"] It's funny, because the pressing D was really just a 1-2 year thing. We employed a few different types of presses those years, the 2-2-1, an aggressive man, a halfcourt trap, and I think a trapping 1-2-1-1 as well. But the next year we were down into the low 300s in steals and the following year we more or less broke even w/ our opponents. We then ran a fairly passive 2-2-1 for most of JCs run until he essentially abandoned it all together. Yet, forever UConn fans have clamored for us to "bring back" the press. It was an anomaly in large part to having a player who was twice as smart as everyone else on the court in Nadav, a big point guard in Tate, and the most athletic player on the court at all times in Burrell. People forget that Burrell was right on pace to challenge Nadav's steal record the next year. SB had 112 in 31 games, Nadav 138 in 37. [/QUOTE]
