PRESS THOUGHTS FROM BILLY DONOVAN

"It's hard to trap good teams...next best thing is to take the ball out of the point guard's hands...when ball cross half court, don't allow point guard to get the ball back."

"Trap on the ball -- steal off the ball."

"Key to great pressing teams: how hard and how fast do you recover."

"When the ball is declared to one side, all 5 players should be on the ball side."

"The true test of the press -- duration!"
