I am NOT a fan of any style of play restrictions. The only thing I would alter is if we pressed normally, I wouldn't with a big lead. But we will brreak and we will shoot threes, just like always. You can't stop playing your game.

totally agree with you. I forgot to add their is also a no press rule and no man defenses. The no pressing makes sense and I think any coach that presses up that much needs to get dragged into the principal's office.

But the no fast break and no three's takes away the subs chance to play ball.

--Back when I coached my biggest loss ever was by about 40. The other coach played his bench most of the second half -never pressed and one of the bench guys started hitting 3's like crazy. I have no problem with that. The kid got his chance to show his stuff and probably earned his way up from the third string to second or higher in that game.
