Re: 2011 Recruits
And,occasionally,disrupt thier attempt at a quick inbounds pass to start a fast break of thier own, and if they're really good or the other team really careless,steal the ball down at thier end of the court for an easy two.
If you have enough quick gaurds, you'd have to apply a pressure defense ,or you'd be susceptible to all kinds of mis-matches in a half court defense with two or three "short" players .You could get by with it for a limited time to try to get a bunch of steals and easy baskets to try and create separation between yourself and your opponent.Once or twice a game would disrupt thier offense.
We never spring a pressure defense on anyone unless we're way behind & they're kind of expecting it.With all the multiple substitutions we make in a game, it would be really easy to catch a team "off gaurd" once in awhile.Alot of basketball is about "disruption" and taking the other team out of thier comfort zone,keeping them from doing what they do best.
Turn around is fair play isn't it? Do we really know if other teams are susceptible to pressure defense if we never try it on them?I might be reaching here, but sometimes i wonder.Sorry (maybe we don't practice this aspect of the game, or recruit the right type players for doing this well enough,ours would probably just end up fouling or getting thier pressure beat time after time for easy lay ups.Its a gamble, sometimes it pays off , sometimes it doesn't .(except for ORU,it almost always pays off)I digress.
