Watched a game (8th grade championship) with one team clearly way, way better than the other. Their coach started them out slowly, but by the middle of the first quarter, they were pressing hard, stealing in the backcourt and then laying it up again. About four or five times in a row. Coach wasn't even watching, but doing something on a clipboard. Team kept pressing, kept stealing, kept laying it up. Something like 10 times in a row. Finally, the losing coach walked down past the table and yelled at winning coach, "Good press coach." And walked back. Winning coach got the message. Refs didn't do anything, I'm not sure they even saw it. Winners won by like 50 or 60. Went on to win a national championship. 4 of the 5 starters got college scholarships. Really great team.
