I'm trying to think of a scenario where it's a good idea for a press team to play uptempo. It seems to me that ALL of the following have to be true at the same time:
1. I have the better overall team,
2. I have better bench players, AND
3. I have a decided advantage in stamina.
Anything short of this, and it seems that the rapid increase in fouls committed and stamina lost is going to outweigh the advantage of more possessions and potentially more turnovers caused. And yeah, maybe I win a game playing uptempo FCP, but I would've won that game anyway playing normal tempo, and I would've introduced less variance in the outcome playing normal. Thoughts?
