Coaches teach full- and halfcourt pressure for a variety of reasons.
Some want to be on the go all the time, spreading out their opponents, and hoping, at some juncture, to wear them down and win the game. Other coaches like to use token pressure, and let the offense come to them. Sometimes, these coaches like to see how their opponents react before they have their teams administer any serious pressure. Why teams press As trite as it may seem, teams pressure for different reasons. Personally, I am a strong advocate of pressure early in a game to see what a team can or cannot do.
