When losing late is it better to play positive or negative? I've heard positive but I thought I would get people's opinions. I play a fullcourt press.

Most teams losing late are set to shoot a lot of 3s.  So a + defense will defend against that better.  If they're living on the perimeter you should still be able to rebound most of the misses, less so in the press but still...

Sorry when I'M losing late. Is there a position that is better suited to get back in the game. I have heard positive might lead to more steals?

positive might lead to more steals, negative might lead to more rebounds. kind of a toss up, there. i personally usually have my losing late set to -4. the thought being, my only chance is if they miss - so let them take jumpers, instead of making layups.
