Just a lil observation...

Why you don't recomend to use Full court press to defense run and gun?

The quality of the passes are very low and there's a lot of posibilities in it ...

Main reason I don't like FCP is because it tires my players faster which leads me to believe I'll face greater risk of injury. I prefer to drop my players back into some sort of zone so they aren't running around constantly, instead protecting an area. Keeps them fresher and considering I have a strong defense (#1 last season, started out slow this season), I try to keep them in the game for longer periods of time. My backups are not nearly as strong on defense as I'd like them to be.

There is nothing in the rules or that I have read in posts from BBs that would back this up. In fact, my own experience suggests that getting injured has nothing to do with how tired a player is.

The only defensive tactic that makes your players tire faster is FCP.

if i understand the rules right the 1-3-1 should do it also, and a 3-2 or 2-3 less then man to man, expecting that low pace means that the player don't get tired that fast.

This is what I see for FCP:

Full Court Press: Significant increase in created turnovers at the expense of stamina, defense, and rebounding. Very high pace.

The other defenses do not mention stamina at all. And nowhere in the rules do I see that pace = players get tired faster.

People have tried to argue this point with me before. However, it makes no sense that the BBs would go out of the way to mention it for one defense and not for the others. And if it is the case, the rules need to be changed.

Stamina still clearly matters, just more pronounced in FCP.

Base Offense, Push the Ball, and Patient have neither an inside nor an outside focus. (Push is uptempo; Patient is downtempo.) According to the rules, you generally give up more than you gain when you play an inside or outside focused offense, so it makes sense to use one of these three if you have a balanced offense.

Others can speak to pace better than me. In general, I think a faster pace favors the better team, because there are more possessions, and therefore more chance for luck to even out.

but you had to expect, that the opponents, most likely schoose the right defence or not the total wrong defence. With a balanced rooster i would switch the offense often, and ptb is a good strategy if you are the dominating team or expect the oppponent to gable for a Zone to get u.
