I think we'll end up playing half-court at some point.
I agree, and I think it's in our interests to do so. The post-goal reset is such a fundamental aspect of the game, and when it comes to international events where half-court is becoming the standard, we want to be playing under the same condition as we have practiced.
Watching l'equipe in Karlsruhe, immediately after scoring they we in formation to herd their opponents - they practice half-court so have had the chance to develop and experiment in appropriate defensive tactics. Most of the time when we turn up the half-court takes us all a bit by surprise. It's no wonder we can't knock 'em off their perch.*
