Full court press
The press can be used to mix things up or as an all-encompassing philosophy. In my opinion, Tubby is not prepared, nor will he ever be prepared to fully commit to the full court press. Tubby can certainly do whatever he believes in. I have often wondered though, where the 40 minutes of He** or Pitino style pressing teams have gone (I guess Tennessee is the closest thing to it today). Think of the success that N. Richardson and Pitino had with that style. Wooden's Bruins also ran a 2-2-1 FCT throughout his tenure.
I always thought that the style was a huge recruiting advantage. Who wouldn't want to play in a high scoring, up-tempo system? Who wouldn't want to come to a program and have a good chance to play quality minutes right away (because that system, obviously, requires a lot of players)? The system also seems to instill a high level of confidence in players too. If you were a coach in a major conference such as the B10, PAC 10, etc and at a school like Wash. St., Penn St., MN etc. couldn't you bring a lot of excitement and attention to your program that way?
An earlier poster called this style high risk/high reward. I must disagree. For teams that press only sparingly or out of desperation that's true, but those who are truly committed to the style throughout the game its not. If the Wooden teams were high risk they certainly wouldn't have won 88 straight games or won so consistently with so many different types of players. Its a style that wears the other team out and forces them into mistakes. Its also one that requires great discipline from the opponent. Many times I saw opponents jump out to big early leads against Pitino's teams taking quick jump shots--shots that never seemed to fall in the latter parts of the game. By the way, I always found it interesting that Pitino would say that the better the PG the worse he would play against their system. Bobby Hurley always (with the exception of the tourney game his senior year when Laettner hit the last second shot) played horribly against them.
I also have to disagree with Gopher4Life that it depends on your personnel. Pitino's Providence teams never had great personnel. His best player on those teams was the immortal Delray Brooks! His early Kentucky teams had superior athletes like John Pelphery and Richie Farmer and were very successful. Its about being committed to a philosophy and getting your players to buy into that philosophy. In fact, the full court approach can hide a lot of individual weaknesses.
