Breaking the press
It seems that Coach Smith’s teams have always had trouble breaking the press. I remember Stew had a few full court plays he would run in case we saw the press and it always seemed to work.
Any reason why we haven’t introduced some plays into our inbounds package? It seems like our only plan is to inbound the ball as fast as possible to whoever is open and try and force it down the court..

Yes. Smith’s teams have handled the press better than Stew’s teams.

Re: Breaking the press
Well regardless the question still remains. The past two years we have seen complete meltdowns against Boise and now VCU because we can’t deal with the press. Any idea why?ineptimusprime wrote: ↑November 26th, 2020, 1:48 pmYes. Smith’s teams have handled the press better than Stew’s teams.

Re: Breaking the press
Watching Stews teams deal with press was a painful sight. I'm no expert but it seems like the press would be harder to handle early in the year.

Re: Breaking the press
And create a screen just before mid court. It was always a joy to watch the other teams guard run into a brick wall.
