I coach city league and competitive league youth basketball. The passive style of play is a major pet peeve. The culture is for most teams to drop back in a tight zone or sagging man to man, with little pressure on the ball. This culture is reinforced by ref's who come to expect that style of play and whistle up the slightest swipe at the ball, bump on a man driving with the ball, etc. It's no wonder that BYU acts like they're playing a different sport when they go up against a pressure defense team.
