Keep the rebounding close is huge. I have found (small sample size) in my experience that if you don't keep the rebounding close, you ansolutely have to have huge margins in turnovers and generate a ton of steals.
This was probably the most fun game I remember my team playing in when running the press. We weren't even close to being as ready as we are now to do it.
(https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/120858856/boxscore.aspx)The thing I remember most about this was the highly unconventional deployment I used. I sacrificed any hope at rebounding by having guards on centers and power forwards. I had a decent team, but they were far superior; we lost this at the buzzer... and a light bulb went on for my roster builds that i've been tweaking ever since.
If memory serves, we lost at the buzzer (we missed).
