Huh, Herro is used off screens. Kentucky did not use Herro as a ball handler. One sign that a team does not herald someone one ball handling is when teams presses. If your coaches remove you from being a ball handler to break the press and stick you in the corner. You are not a ball handler sir, especially if you are a guard.
You've obviously never coached a game in your life. Kentucky lacked shooters.
Breaking a press has little to do with your ball handlers, as you are not DRIBBLING through a press. You pass and cut to break a press.
You are taught against most presses to put your scorers down the court so that the other team is forced to spread out the court (allowing for cut lanes)
If Kentucky puts Hagans or Quickly in the deep court, the opposition could pack in the press, put more pressure and take more risks.
You put a scorer down the court to negate that. It's press break 101.
WAT!!! I am done, if you cant dribble and beat a man to man press, you gonna get your ball taken. I played ball. A team will press you if you do not have good ball handlers, hoping you pass the ball and get it stolen.
So you think that every team that just "can't dribble" loses? Breaking a press is about being smart, not totally about having handles. It helps, but only the extreme cases like college/HS D-Rose/Wall
The most effective way to break a press is to pass and cut through it. Not put your head down and go.
That is not opinion, nor something to debate about. That is proven fact.
You could have "played ball", but I have learned pressure D first hand from some of the best guys to ever do it - and the first thing they will tell you is the best passing teams broke their press.
It is about passing and decision making.
Look up any press break, literally any. Send me 1 that has to do with dribbling through a pressure defense.
