And it is part of the coach's job to know his personnel and what they can and cannot do when devising schemes, right?

Don't go confusing him.

That is probably why they only pressed when they got behind. Some say they should have pressed more.

Except he tried to implement it in the first place, again, as the "team defense."

As for IVMP, give 'em hell, Nichi!

Sounds reasonable to me.

Also, when you are a 1, or even a high, seed and/or have an Ayo or Kofi, or BOTH, caliber player(s) on your team, make the damned S16. Apparently that is a moronic, low thinker, take for some around here.

To paraphrase a great poster here: I don't expect them to make the S16 at this point. But it would not surprise me if they did.

So they should press more often and exhaust themselves more thoroughly and more often?

I bet Nichi is one of those people who stands up and yells: "Three seconds!" every time the other team has the ball.

I am ignoring the resident creep. I just saw some of Sparky's replies and had to comment.

What I recall this year is they started out switching, not pressuring and trapping. But I am old and the years blend together /s

This year's team actually started out [edit in the preseason] with the depth to press a lot more. Then Goode broke his foot,  Melendez hurt his shoulder, and Clark left the team.

Next year's team might have the talent and depth to extend the defense more, depending on who returns and who else they add.

 I'd rather see multiple team defenses. That is really what we saw this year. Switching, under the ball screen, drop coverage, pressure. Just no zone.

Did you read what I posted?

I am pretty sure they started with a switching defense anyway.

Yes, I did. Goode was hurt in the "preseason." Going into the season, he knew he did not have Goode. Melendez hurt his shoulder pre- or post-D change? I do not recall. Clark left after he ditched the gimmick D.

Except he didn't. He tried to implement a switching defense. Not the same as pressure defense.

This part:

You missed the point.

So, in other words, they switched to a defensive style that required more depth after they had less depth.

Great job, Nichi.

No. A switching man defense does not require more depth than pressure defense. That is idiotic. That might be the densest thing you have posted yet. Maybe you confused depth with versatility? The sad thing is you don't even know you are stupid.
