    Want to beat a press?

    Try to get some quick points out of it. What does Kelvin do? Desperately get the ball across half court so we can set up his crap offenses. That's why the Huskers never got out of it. We never scored against it.

    Where have you coached? I think Sampson knows more than you do. It is easier said then done. If it were that easy to break a press I don't think so many teams would press.

    I haven't coached anywhere, but I watch a lot of other teams break the press and go for easy scores. We didn't attack against the press one time today.

    Actually, the way to beat a press is to keep your passes in the center of the court, avoid the sidelines, and don't get outnumbered in the backcourt. Ask Billy Tubbs about it.

    The way to beat a press is by having better guard play really. It's not that hard you just have to play better. Last year Everett was better as a point guard. This year he's just fallen apart.

    If I'm a coach of a team playing OU this year, I press all game long.

    This is true. There is a potential price to pay for running a press, in the form of easy points; we never make 'em pay it, so there's no reason for our opponents to stop pressing.
