Thanks Benis, I wasn't exactly trying to start trouble
but sometimes I wonder who has glimpsed behind the curtain...and who just talks like it

I talk out my *** a lot but I generally preface it with something like, “it’s my opinion” or some **** like that.

I considered saying that same thing!!! I just talk like it at times. But I have no problem admitting when i'm wrong. For example, I've decided I should just give up on Zone discussions because i'm all lost with it. And my zone team just can't get to a high competitive level like my other teams.

But as far as this topic, I thought it was blatantly obvious personally

I'm with you 16 seasons of zone, a couple s16's. 1 season of zone/press, e8.

I have depauw in knight, they're like 550 and pretty mediocre but I got these ******** winning games they shouldn't and 8th in rpi after 10 games. You know why? FCP.

For me, nothing about 3.0 recruiting is blatantly obvious. :)

I agree. 100%. Press teams are easy to construct (but in my opinion, not as fun). I play D2 and it seems to me you can have every guard have 80 in ATH/SPD/DEF and 40 in PER/BH/PASS and you'll have a championship squad. But if you play another defense and switch those numbers.... 40 in ATH/SPD (I'll even move the defense to other side) and 80 in DEF/PER/BH/PASS, your team is garbage.

I would think if those PER/BH/PASS skills can be overlooked with press teams, the same would hold true with the other sets with ATH/SPD..... but its nothing like that. It makes press way too powerful in my opinion

^^ +1

IME, a well constructed non press team has a serious advantage over all but the absolute best press team in d2 and d3.

its just harder to do when you have to focus on more than ath/psd/def
