Playing Fast with Purpose
Playing fast means more than just running primary and secondary breaks, it's also about handling pressure, flowing into offense, and executing in critical moments. In this video, Kansas State's Matthew Driscoll shares his proven system for attacking presses, building tempo, and preparing your team for special situations.

Press Break Offense
Coach Driscoll begins by breaking down his press break offense, showing alignments, counters, and teaching points that neutralize defensive pressure. You'll see how to advance the ball, reverse sides, and attack the middle to consistently create advantages.

High-Tempo Drills
To build the skills behind the system, Driscoll introduces high-tempo drills, including his One Minute Passing drill and 4-on-3 Scramble drill, designed to sharpen decision-making, passing accuracy, and playing at pace under defensive stress.

Special Situations
From there, the video shifts into sideline out-of-bounds (SLOB) actions and end-of-game sets, giving you multiple options to free shooters, create mismatches, and deliver the ball to your best scorers when the game is on the line. You'll also learn how to "invert" actions to disguise looks and keep defenses off balance.

Complete Game Preparation
This video isn't just about playing fast; it's about being prepared for every game-changing moment! With a mix of press break strategies, drills, and special situation plays, Coach Driscoll gives you everything you need to control tempo, execute under pressure, and give your team the edge late in games.
