Pressing

I’m already pretty fired up about the upcoming basketball season, but reading that story about possibly using the press this year has me even more excited.

With the depth and athletes they have on this team, it makes a ton of sense to put a bunch of pressure on the other team, which should help wear down the opposition late in the game.

Hoo boy.

Watching the team scrimmage Friday night...

it’s easy to see we will have at least a 10 deep rotation….with very little drop off from starters to subs.
