#PressU thread for @UMassBasketball next season

I watched @UmassCoachB coaching clinic last night on full court pressure and press fundamentals. Filled with some key points and takeaways for @UMassBasketball moving forward 1/x
Bergeron’s reasons for pressing:
1️⃣Disruption

Only 2-3 days to prepare. Teams focusing on breaking UMass press instead of Personnel or how to stop UMass defensively. Disruption to tempo and speed teams up as well.

Maximum of 4/30 games on schedule against pressing teams
2/x
2️⃣Distraction

Practice simulation is near possible for teams since you aren’t possibly working on it as much as UMass
3/x
