I feel like the full court press has been a lot more detrimental than beneficial lately for the team. Other teams are getting a lot of easy transition buckets, I remember seeing a few plays where colorado literally just quickly ran past press straight to the hoop to score unopposed or a step back 3. Yesterday, we would stop pressing when colorado started to get away, get close to them then start pressing, and they would get away again, rinse and repeat. If you have 2 of our guys trying to trap that leaves one of their guys open for an easy 3 or drive to the basket. I don't even remember us actually getting any turnovers off it, Colorado only had 5 turnovers total. If the other team has good ball handlers we should not be wasting energy constantly pressing. If they don't have good ball handlers like UNLV, we should press. Thoughts? I noticed that we let the ball inbounds far too easy and then press. Sometimes we do press the inbounding player as well. Seems to me to be totally effective, we need to press the inbound hard and the guys who are suppose to get back had best do that.

Our solid pressers are D'Eryl, Polee, and DA. Unfortunately we don't have/use 2 of them so our press is ineffective against good teams.

They do that on purpose to direct the other team to pass to someone in the corner in order to try to get a trap, it's dangerous because if you don't get the trap that leaves someone wide open, just didn't really work last game.

I repeat, and Leg kick gets it. Placement of the right players in the right position. The point is the key. Cannot be soft and allow an easy inbounds pass. SDSU press this year is soft and weak compared to last years go get um

legkick..You get it..Cannot expect Obrien to play the point Better in the back row where he is very good at anticipating long passes. Pope is a work in very good progress and will be ready by tournament time. The missing ingredient on the press will alwys be Polee. No one on the team has his fluidty as you describe.
