My next opponent in the cup has 8 players in his squad, practically all of them on inept game shape, and has a tendency of playing Full Court Press defense (which to me seems like a bad idea in itself having such a limited roster but that's beside the point).
I'm thinking that Push The Ball would be the best way to go in order to:
1. get his players tired more quickly (my starters and reserves are quite solid and all have good game shape/stamina)
2. counter the FCP by limiting the amount of dribbles/passes and therfore potential turnovers
Our squads are quite balanced when it comes to inside and outside scoring/defense so I'm thinking about PTB rather than Run and Gun or Look Inside.
Anyone care to comment if my thinking is correct?
Generally my advice on this is that against FCP, you play your best offense and you'll do just fine against it unless you have horrible handling and passing. With this guy's limitations, though, I could make a case for something like LI, which is also fast paced but might help draw more fouls and help exploit the rebounding advantage you get from him running FCP. Of course, since the game was yesterday, I think what you ended up doing was just fine. ;)
