Bruce Pearl on 'Pressing and Roles of Players':
"We'll press you from the minute you step off the bus! We are committed to full-court pressure. I don't need 13 guys that can shoot, I don't need 13 great ball-handlers or great rebounders or great defenders. But, put those pieces of the puzzle together and I think that's how you have a great team."
"GAME-LONG, season-long, our team is going to run a press. That's the identity of our team. Everyone knows that we run a press, and our whole program believes in the system. We've found, as have several other championship teams, that you can extend the floor defensively with full-court pressure and still get back in time to protect the basket.
Few things in this game can be controlled by a coach, but tempo is one of them."
