I have heard that a Patient offense is best against a Full Court Press. I was wondering if a Princeton or a LP. Here is my roster: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/22948/players.aspx

His roster: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/30547/players.aspx

Against the FCP, if your opponent does not get the steal early, you go into your normal offense with much better chances of getting an open shot and better chances of rebounding a miss. Set up your offense like you were going against a Man to Man, and it'll work the same but better.

So against press there is no difference between LP or LI?

Not significantly. If you break the press, your opponent will have a defense penalty and a rebounding penalty. Whatever you do well will work better.

In the pros and especially at the college level, I can say that there are more fast breaks than in BB. When I say this, teams like the Miami Heat (NBA) and 2012 Kentucky Wildcats (NCAA) come to mind. These are 2 teams that can get out and outpace their opponents (Wade to Lebron, vice-versa) (Marquis Teague, Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Anthony Davis).

to properly say that whether or not there are not enough fast breaks in BB compared to real life,


Miami Heat's game relies on fast breaks...Denver also promotes fast game with lots of fast brakes. There are a lot more fast brakes in real life than in BB.

Fast break is also an opportunity where chance of scoring is greatest. IMO that's why we don't see much fast breaks in BB. If we did, FCP would be overpowered.
