Full Court Press

[SoonerNorm]

I have always liked to defend the entire court instead of just the half-court. I personally like a full-court zone trapping defense, probably because that is what we primarily ran when I played. There are various formations to use such as 2-2-1, 3-2, etc. I just believe in making everything difficult for the opponent and the only way to do that is to guard the entire court.

Thoughts?

If the other team cannot break the press any better than we did at KS then it is a great idea!

I agree and prefer to full court press as much as physically possible. When successful, it can provide instant motivation leading to a quick score. I'm not a fan of the zone defense. I like man to man with switching off screens to apply more pressure.

Why Not? I have always liked full court pressure, and with this team, they did a nice job early in the season. We need all the help we can get. Shake it up a little.

The 10 second backcourt violation we got at KSU was the first I have seen in womens college basketball this year. Has anyone els noticed many of them?

I haven't seen many 10 second calls but, to be honest, I don't watch a lot of basketball outside of the Big 12.

We have forced at least three.
