Great answer from Joe Mazzulla on the purpose of rim pressure and the different ways to create it: “It can be done in different ways…The most obvious one is driving into the paint, make a layup…Last game, we put a ton of pressure on the rim on our off-ball of curling to the rim. “A curl to the rim on a guy who draws a 2-on-1 somewhere else on the floor is rim pressure. So, you can get it through drives, you can get it through cuts, you can get it through screening and rolling. “…You put pressure on the rim to create 2-on-1s and create easy baskets. You have to be able to see that pressure on the rim doesn’t always lead to a layup. It may lead to a 3, it may lead to a kick-out.”
