Actually a press is when a competition between two teams are versing each other, and when the game is starting to get out of hand the defensive side tries to slow the offense down by stopping/slowing down the guards from getting out of the back court. It also depends in what type of league your playing in to the amount of pressing you can do and when you may press the offense.
