Yeah coaching youth BB I called that the "death zone"


inbounding against a zone press in any "triangled area". And given we dont have guards that can pass over a double team trap, it is even worse.

If you can throw over the first level you can get some 3 on 2s on the other end. We may have to consider inbounding to our 4 or 5 and hope they can make good, quick decisions- if so you can often be off to the races. And that is the best way to discourage pressure.

We are lucky we arent facing a prime WVU team, or a Shaka VCU team or a good deep Pitino Louisville team this year, where we might see 40 minutes of full court hell. It would likely be very very ugly.
