With this class will we have a fast paste offense?

All joking aside, I hope we press and turnover the shit out of people. I want to see a team that generates a ton of extra possessions. Just relentless on the ball pressure.

Did the rule pass that timeouts do not reset the 10 sec to get the ball over? If so we need to press like crazy next year.

Yes. Plus coaches cannot call a timeout in live ball situations. That's why I say we should just go insane with pressing next year. All the time nonstop ball pressure, trapping, and just running people off the court and generating a huge disparity in possessions.

Good point, and having those will really help us if we face teams with the same goal. I think we will be impossible to press. Louisville is going to get stomped this year at Rupp.

I wish they would have cut it to three tv timeouts per half, but that interfers with the $

The flip side, pressing teams often give up a ton of easy baskets on the other end if the other team is able to beat it. I can't see Cal committing to that type of helter skelter defense. Cal coaches his teams to prepare them for the elite teams in March, not to beat the scrubs by 50. Elite teams are rarely bothered much by pressing defenses. Look at what happened to West Virginia against us last year.
