I don't have any useful advice, but I disagree with emy regarding the OP's choice to seek advice. The other human coach knows there are forums as well presumably, right? Don't see any harm in a coach asking for some advice, even if the other team also has a human coach...let the other guy come ask for advice of his own if he wants it...what's the harm?
Actually, it's just about making my own decisions more than anything else.  Yes, both coaches have the same opportunity to ask for advice, but it's your team and you've coached it on your own all season, why do anything different now?  Win or lose on your own, either way it's more satisfying.  That's all I was trying to say.

I see where Kimble posted above that he already had his gameplan set and just wanted to start the thread for discussion purposes.  I'm glad that he stuck to his guns and kept his original gameplan in place.  Maybe I just read the original post wrong (I was tired, admittedly), but it looked like he was asking for gameplanning advice without having a plan in place already.  Perhaps if he had stated that he had his gameplan set, that it wasn't going to be changed despite what anyone suggested, and was just going to be an educational-type thread for discussion purposes, I wouldn't have posted like I did.

Kimble, glad to see that your gameplan worked.  Good luck to you in your Elite Eight matchup.  That's a nice team you've got, certainly more than capable of going all the way!

I think that right now the engine is extremely kind to 12-deep press teams, even when they have less talent than their opponents. Extremely kind.

I agree girt.  Press teams seem to have the ability to succeed with minimal talent.  I think the engine needs to correct this.  A press team that is at a significant speed, ath, and stamina disadvantage and is playing a team with fairly solid guard play should be punished with a huge amount of fouls and tiring players.  It seems that the press is minimal risk high reward
