I ran man for about 10 seasons and the last 8 or so I ran press. The last 3-4 seasons I've not forced as many to's on press but I've turned it over plenty vs man. What would be coaches reasons to run man over press besides ability to chose a double team?

The press emphasizes SPEED more than man so it's a little easier to build press teams offensively.  Particularly teams that shoot a lot of 3's.

Other reasons for man over press:

Man is a much more consistent defense game in game out than press.

Man is easier to recruit for. Don't have to worry about being as deep and is less reliant on SP/ST. Just get the ATH/DEF and you're good to go.

That's my conclusion too that man was more consistent. I got upset by 2 CPU teams last yr and I had a really solid team. Lost in 2 nd rd but gave #2 ranked team it's only loss. Those CPU teams shot 55% vs me. Think I'm switching back to man
