You forget that Ernie would have used it for a coffee table book... There to impress visitors, but nary a wrinkle in the spine as evidence of a single reading.

Is the press going to work while playing in a major conference where every team has multiple players who can handle the ball extremely well?

Missouri uses it and pretty successful. Duke at certain times uses it.
Kentucky has been known to press. Memphis uses it.
it works to disrupt alot of teams offense. What he has to do is sell the
players on it.

Rick Pitino has built his career on it.
You have to recruit for it though and I don't think our guards are good enough

So is this a perimeter oriented offense?

I think that it can be used for either a low-post or perimeter offense. It all depends on what type of players you have, but he's tended to be very perimeter oriented so I wouldn't see much that would change his way now.

this may not be exactly what Dana runs, but this is an example of how a high post offense can be implemented and all the diff options you can do with it:

The high post spot seems more like a spot for someone like Jacob or Catron since they have more range, but I think Altman will run some sets where he can put Dunigan down low, where he is more suited.

Ya, I think Wilson would also be a good fit there.

Wilson or Singler would fit there also since they can both hit a mid-range jumper if it's open and drive to the basket.

Honestly, I really hope we aren't an exclusive high post system team.
Does anyone have good video of his offense?
