Press Defense
For those who wish to employ an occasional full court press – especially late in games – use the following procedure.
A) After a made FG or FT, roll the three dice. Use the d6 to determine the inbounds ball handler, as usual. Now look at the percentile Dice result. If the result falls in the Pass range, the press is broken.
B) Roll the d6 again to determine the new Ball Handler (could be the original BH, which is OK). Resume normal play (but see next paragraph for possible high percentage shot). However, if the Percentile Dice falls outside the Pass range, add ONE to the BH’s turnover (TO) number. If the Percentile Dice is NOT a Pass AND NOT a TO (in other words, then normal Ball handling rules apply, i.e. simply follow the action indicated. Remember to record a timing stroke, regardless of the outcome of the press.
The risk to applying the full court press is, of course, making yourself susceptible to easy baskets on the other end.
To reflect this risk, we increase the odds of a pass creating a high percentage shot by allowing the player to choose without rolling the shot choice.
