Back in season 50 or so before I left for 20 seasons I remember reading something about slow/uptempo and when you should change your offense depending on opponent.

I remember it went something like if your a better team you should run uptempo and if you are facing a better team you should run slowdown. Does this still apply?

I mostly always run slowdown on every game of the season, should I be changing my tempo based off the team i'm playing against?

The above assumptions are pretty solid, but there are several other items to consider. How much depth do you have? If you play only 10, uptempo may not be good. How athletic is your team? How good on defense? Poor in either area could lead to more fouls, especially in uptempo. What is your OFF/DEF IQ? Poorer leads to more fouls. How deep is your opponent? Will you wear them down faster if you run uptempo, or will you wear your own team down first. I'm sure several of our seasoned coaches can make you aware of even more pitfalls.

Be cautious about running uptempo against a pressing team, unless they are very poor defensively.

two teams that are identical except that every player on one is 10% better would call for the better team to go uptempo - less chance of random upset

on the other hand, if you are better but the other guy's 8,9 and 10 players are a bunch better - skillls or IQ - than your 8, 9 and 10 you would find that uptempo would be bad for you

team strength and depth are the key comparisons

Anyone have thoughts on the fastbreak offense, normal vs uptempo?
