Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 5114088, member: 8101"] I can remember early on when UConn had some press/trap defense, although the outlet was almost always to a big girl standing under the basket, not for three. I think it works pretty well if you are trying to shut down the other team right from the start. I still think the problem is going to come down to recruiting. My thought is that a top 10 player is more likely to go to a skills oriented coach (Staley, Auriemma, Ivey) than to sign up for knowing that you are going to run yourself ragged every single day. To be clear, I really like Coach Caldwell, I’m just not sure that this is going to work out at the D1 level. If she’s able to adjust her strategy a bit, I think she stands a better chance. It’s going to be telling towards the end of the season to see the level of exhaustion. [/QUOTE]
