Games Against the USCs of the World

Teams like South Carolina who play to use more clock, need to be pressed by this UK team. We have plenty of players to keep fresh bodies on the floor.
Why we allowed them or for that matter any team to dictate tempo is beyond me.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

I don't know why you guys think Cal doesn't press.

He pressed with 5 minutes left in the game once we were down 20.

I like how they start with one guy pressing the dribbler and the other guy who is right there and should obviously trap him, just runs off into the sunset.

 

[Wonky]

Simple concepts that are obvious to us Bennies might as well be quantum physics to Cal.

Guarantee you, most up tempo coaches would be using the press with this team. We have speed...we have rim protectors...we just need to go after our opponents.

 

[Mike-McD]

Opposing teams now know that if we pressure the ball, all they have to do is elbow our guy in the face and the refs will call a foul on us.

 

[Ugoff]

Well I agree. I'm no coach but I'd have run USCjr 'til their tongues hung out to up the tempo and get some transition buckets. Couldn't have looked much worse. That ain't NBA tho'.

All the players have excellent length which should translate into more steals if we trapped

Guys he always lets other team dictate style if play
2015 Wisconsin we played as slow as they wanted
2 nights later Coack K had his team up in Wisconsin grill all night
It’s unbelievable he’s a clueless Coach

Another one that still gets me is the 21-point lead they blew at halftime in Knoxville.
