I currently run a full court press and a triagnle offense and my team is struggling im losing games i should be winning any advice would be nice

ill be honest, i dont think you're losing any games that you should be winning.  playing a press with such horrible speed and athleticism and IQ is not helping your cause.

I have to agree with cowz -- even with the walkons taken out of the equation, your team athleticism and defense are low (esp. athleticism, IMO) and the speed is just average-ish for a press squad. 

Adding my own two cents, I didn't flip through all the games, but the sampling I grabbed looked like you were playing regular tempo in all of them. With a 10-man rotation playing the press, I'm going to guess that's probably leading to some late-game fades due to fatigue since none of the 10 scholarship players has a stamina above 80. Check your play-by-plays, esp. the second halves and see where the guys are at fatigue-wise. Might want to bump to a slowdown. 

Edit: Looked at a few more games and saw you had gone slowdown in a couple. I think I'd do it more often though. You might want to rethink your distribution too. Looks like you've got the bulk of your shots going to a freshman in Farnsworth and a sophomore in Rodgers. Watters, your senior center, is shooting the rock almost 10 percent better than Rodgers and Saito, your only 600+ player, is probably begging for a few extra touches as well. Both of the seniors will have much better offense IQ's than the underclassmen.
