Thoughts on the fast break:
1) Basketball is relative‚ the game is simple, don't try and complicate it by coaching too much.
2) To fast break, you have to rebound.
3) We want second chance opportunities and easy baskets
Fast breaking is not a "loose" style of basketball. You must still play smart and under control. Make solid decisions, take good shots and play as a team.
Emphasize shots at the rim; goal of the fast break is to keep the defense uneasy and to get easy shots at the rim.
Best fast breaking team is the team with multiple players that can handle the ball. Ex. 80's Lakers.
To score easy buckets in transition your must be fast with the ball, we work on things as simple as taking the ball out of the hoop. Point guards get a running start with the ball and we push to the paint or the corners. After a rebound we push the ball, whether the rebound is gathered by a power forward or point guard, if we are comfortable with you handling the ball then we go.
"Offensive boards, defensive battles"
Initial and secondary break:
After rebound or turnovers push the ball ahead to wings or forward. Push to the paint or corners. Lastly look for post that is trailing the play.
In the UNC secondary break the PG makes judgment based on defenders back.
2 or fewer defenders: Look to score in no more than three passes.
Avoid 3's on the pitch ahead unless it is our best shooter and the defense is set.
First post seals on low block, second trails play.
