Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 4731995, member: 1997"] Yeah, not many teams can press or have the desire to press in order to create a run & gun style of play. Years ago, I got to study and watch Olivet Nazarene University women's basketball program practice under Doug Porter "The System" over two summers. They would press you off makes and misses. Field goal or free throws, it did not matter. With UConn having D1 level players, you would think that they would press like that but again, it all depends on the coach and their style of play and wanting to press to create an attack mindset. As for the ball handling abilities of the players. It helps but again the press is designed to get you into playing fast and reckless. If our players are blowing past the defenders and missing shots, the press is working because it is speeding up the game. Now it just becomes which team is in better shape and who can make shots. We will see what develops over the next few months. [/QUOTE]
