Why Press?
-To cause TO’s and leading to easier baskets
-To wear your opponents down
-To play more players on your roster
-To break opponents’ rhythm
-To eat clock on defense- shortening the time for the offense to get a good shot

These are just some of the reasons you should employ a press defense.
