Do you know what a zone defense is? Much, much easier to execute than man to man (where you are 'on' the opposing point guard as soon as the ball is inbounded.)

I've played the game at point guard. I've played for two undefeated championship teams that trounced all opponents. I also played on a team that went 5-17.

It would be pernicious to send scrubs into a game and tell them not to try.

You are speaking of a full court press. A full court or even half court press need not be man-to-man nor man-to-man be a press. You can get a lot of mileage out of 2 on 1 traps.

I would have went over some things with my team and ran various plays I wanted them to get down. I would have put in all the subs I had, but you never tell your team to lower intensity. If the players on the losing side see the other team is laying down it makes it even more insulting to them. I would have used the game to get my younger players some minutes and experience. I am not sure we needed an article, that seems to have gone national for this. Teams who run up the score usually get a taste of the same before the season is done. :)
