[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our games last weekend, the 2 teams that beat us got a leg up on us pressing and causing some turnovers which converted into points and we got behind early. We were a team that only had 1/2 our kids and the other half came to fill in (no reclasses) so we weren't use to playing together and the press got us early. [/quote] So many teams win by pressing aggressively early and trying to get the other team on the back foot, especially when kids are younger. By 15U, my kid was on a well coached team that had 4-5 great press breaks, and they’d slice up the press for easy baskets. It’s amazing how the psychological momentum shifts when a team that’s used to bullying with the press sees the other team get quick points with long passes to guys who are open under the basket or in the corner. Some teams, pressing was all they knew how to do, so they’d keep at it, even after 10 easy points in a row. It was sad but funny. [/quote]
