That’s the appropriate way to break a press

32-24 Argyle. Hawks just giving wide open looks from 3 all game and Argyle is making them pay. Might want to tighten up the defense on the perimeter. 

[KPBall]

Argyle having no issues with the press either, leading to a lot of easy buckets. Not sure I’d press this team in the 2nd, they pass the ball really well.

it's great coaching and great fundamental basketball.  What makes HJ so unstoppable is their relentless press, and having 4-5 girls on the court at all time that can bring the ball up on the break.  Teams like Argyle and Canyon (and maybe 1-2 more 4A schools statewide) have multiple girls that can handle the pressure and break the press.  When you can break the press consistently you end up with easy baskets consistently.  Both of those teams also have a well-run, slow and methodical offense that will shorten games.  If you let HJ run all game they'll wear you down and win.  If you cut the amount of possessions their all-American gets in half you greatly increase your chance of winning.  

 

so with this analysis........you're telling me that HJ chose to fall back into half court man to start the game and refuses to get into the diamond or 2-2-1 pressure / prevent defense ?  because i'd hope so or else they will lose to this "methodical" program you speak of

PLEASE SOMEBODY ON THIS WEBSITE LISTEN TO ME......................SETX has to learn to NOT PRESS TEAMS THAT handle pressure with ease.  Why can't SETX programs learn that?  WHY, just WHY are we so stubborn that we LIVE and DIE by full court pressure.  FALL BACK INTO HALF COURT MAN. Beat them at their own game.  YOU HAVE A D1 MCDONALDS ALL AMERICAN -----SLOW THE GAME DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep.

You don’t beat Argyle by pressing.
You’re not going to create a lot of turnovers, nor are you going to force them into bad shots.

You try and beat them by playing fundamental half court defense and contesting every shot.

[KPBall]

Couldn’t agree more.

Down 8 they're going to have to press some, or Argyle will bleed a minute off the clock every possession.

1000000000000% 

PRESSURE DOES NOT WORK against strong guard play.  And these programs like Canyon and Argyle will DESTROY you if you want to play games
