Here I beat a ranked team with a good coach, just when we desperately need a win. We were ahead by 12 at the half. Still, whether we could close it out or not, we got the win we needed.
I'm starting to practice Man to Man, a defense I had sworn off of, to move to a Halfcourt Press/Man for this year and maybe next, if I'm still here. Eventually, I suspect the team will just play Man. They really killed the Press with the recent change.
