Despite the big difference in record, I think you will beat me on Tuesday by more than you did them. That full court press they ran caused chaos in a way few teams can replicate.

They turned you 37 TIMES?!? And generated 32 STEALS?!?

That would make me pull out my hair. Never mind the fact I'm already bald...

I love FCP...its my favorite to run. If my guys had just 2 points higher OD I would release FCP hell on the league.

I KNEW someone else had to be thinking that! I figured you, the Andersonville Alligators, and myself might do it.

Too many guards on the roster to not have had that thought. I'm not too far from actually doing that...

Go back and look at my games from season 60, I used FCP all season. Decided though that I needed to build inside guys differently than I could buy them to maximize it. Thus my experimental trainees I’ve been building. Problem is the other players I’ve found on a budget on the TL haven’t been optimal for FCP and I’ve gotten side tracked mastering a different build for the 3-2 defense also. But I will return to FCP at some point.

Outside of the obvious, very good OD at all positions. I’d suggest a good deal of shot blocking and decent rebounding across most positions. My theory is that because of the pace the offense gets few post up opportunities but lots of drives to the basket. This makes ID less important but shot blocking more important. I don’t think you need a level 18 rebounder but I think more rebounding across the board. Give me 4 guys with 9 through 12 rebounding (at D3) over 1 or 2 big rebounders. Main thing is to keep rebounding as close as you can to not offset the turnover advantage you generate.

Keep the rebounding close is huge. I have found (small sample size) in my experience that if you don't keep the rebounding close, you ansolutely have to have huge margins in turnovers and generate a ton of steals.

This was probably the most fun game I remember my team playing in when running the press. We weren't even close to being as ready as we are now to do it.

The thing I remember most about this was the highly unconventional deployment I used. I sacrificed any hope at rebounding by having guards on centers and power forwards. I had a decent team, but they were far superior; we lost this at the buzzer... and a light bulb went on for my roster builds that i've been tweaking ever since.

If memory serves, we lost at the buzzer (we missed).
