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. :)
When it got to be about 50-60 zip that would was pretty insulting too. It goes to the coaching (again). Instead of repetitive easy lay ups (I wonder if any of the Cov. girls can dunk...cause that would have really been rubbing it in) why not work on passing drills. Bring the ball out; pass, pass, pass. Someone else said (and I agree) running the score to 100 was the goal...and thats really unsportsmanlike (when the other team doesn’t even score a basket). And, lets agree...after you did the tenth or eleventh trap...wouldn’t you say your girls had that ‘down’ and move on (to again not run the score up)?
They are really good," Civello said. "Their point guard is terrific. This is what it came down to in the second half: steal at half court and layup. Steal and layup. Steal and layup. It was a layup drill. They finally eased up when they got to 100 with about four minutes left." Covenant's point guard had 48 points.
After a while, there was no point in continuing the shark attack and it was time to clear the bench and play a less aggressive defense.
