[QUOTE="PlayAZ, post: 1378571, member: 625229"] The all out "Press Virginia" type of defense is actually pretty good for us, meaning only in the terms of integrating it and getting guys to buy in to actually perform it. The biggest problem is that we had Frazier, Williams, Smith, Ebo, and ALL the rest "older" players trying to perform a defense in the half court that NONE of them ever had to do in high school/aau/travelling ball? A year older and learning should intensify the pressure, but also improve the understanding (half court-see ball-over commit, but not allow the back cuts). I cant imagine what some of these guys felt all year when it seemed the defense was breaking down again and again, even though for the most part they were busting there arse's....Kudo's for the effort, anticipating the improvement and comprehension to pull this off.:chief: [/QUOTE]
