what kinda positioning do you guys that run this use.. we have a mostly solid individual defenders, but not really managing to have a lot of in game success when it comes to hurting the shooting % of our opponents.  just wanting to see some opinions on game to game adjustments of other fullcourt running coaches

When I run a FCP team, I don't really care (to a point) what the other team shoots percentage-wise, as long as I'm forcing lots of turnovers and limiting my fouls and their free throw attempts.  If you didn't run fastbreak I'd advise running a slowdown offense since your opponents are getting a lot of freebies from the line. Keep feeding minutes into conditioning and IQ, be patient, and don't be afraid to make mistakes that you can learn from. Just my 2 cents.

phil jackson, why are you not running the triangle?

I run Normal tempo unless my opponent is much better than me, then I run Slowdown. I never run Uptempo. I play 0 balanced unless my opponent is not good from 3-point land, then I run -1 or -2. I never run +. Your team is doing very well in causing your opponents to foul and turn it over. An improvement in shooting % will come, as pumphead said, with conditioning and IQ. Included in Conditioning is Stamina which is very critical in both FB and Press. In the 2nd half of Game 1 at one point you had all 5 players on the court playing at Very Tired. In Game 2 most of your players were Tired or Tiring in the 2nd half. This causes performance levels to drop dramatically and likely was a significant factor in both of those games.

You have only played 3 games so far and 2 of those games were against very good teams. Your opponent in Game 1 is ranked #17 with 3 Sr, 3 Jr, and 2 So. Your opponent in Game 2 has 6 Sr and 6 Jr. That experience far outweighs your 6 Frosh and 1 Soph. Your opponent in Game 3 for some strange reason is only playing with 7 players but discussing that would require a brand new thread. lol. My suggestion is to scale back to Normal and 0 balanced and just be patient until your guys grow a little more. 

All good advice.  Just wanted to reinforce the part about dumping minutes into conditioning and IQ.  Throw 25 minutes into your FCP and you'll notice a dramatic improvement once you get those freshmen into the B range.

thanks weena, i am pretty successful on my other tag (coachuk) but i havent had alot of work with this offense and defense combined, and to answer why we dont run the triangle, i donno, lol, its the team we chose to start out our venture in this world. perhaps once we move on to the next level we will.

i was disapointed with the way the first game went, but i think it had to do with my depthchart, and for some reason they didnt digg to deap into the backup players, even though it was all fairly fresh.. but alas, i know we gotta get that IQ up and that will make a hugh diff... watch out tho in 2 seasons, this teams gonna be a force.
