With a pressing defense being promised by Mike White expectations are high that Florida won’t be an easy team to play against. Pressing is about making opponents uncomfortable, ideally forcing a turnover but if nothing else bleeding time of the shot clock while the opposition used more energy than normal simply to get the ball over center court.
White’s Louisiana Tech teams were known for pressing and that likely gives us the best example of what we should expect when the Gators pick up 94 feet this season. While White was in Ruston for four seasons, I mostly looked at his final two years as that was when he was able to get in his guys that he recruited to his system.
