Transition Offense with Breakdown Drills

Mike Rhoades has developed a fastbreak system that will allow you to strike quickly in the first few seconds of the shot clock. This offense gives your players freedom to make plays with structure to maximize spacing.

In this video, you'll get all of the rules and responsibilities that make up Coach Rhoades' transition offense, how to react on dribble penetration, drills to build the fast break mindset and more. If you want to play fast next season, this will serve as a great resource for your program!

Transition Structure and Implementation

Rhoades breaks down the job of every player on the floor in the fast break. You will learn how to get your guards running wide as they explode down the floor for an early basket, help your post player develop the mindset of sprinting the floor hard every time as the rim runner, and teach your rebounder to secure the ball prior to locating the point guard and outletting the ball. Additionally, you'll see how to do all of these things quickly while inbounding off a made shot.

Coach Rhoades also goes into detail on how the point guard can receive the ball with space versus pressure to advance the ball as fast as possible. As the ball moves up the court, you will also discover how to maximize spacing after makes and misses in addition to various options that can happen during the flow of offense by reversing to the trailer. Coach Rhoades wants his team to attack the defense before they can set up and break them down with paint touches. Rhoades explains how all five players can react to drive & kick situations to maintain a continuous attack until an open shot is created.

Practice Drills

Eight drills are demonstrated that will help you develop an up-tempo style of play. Primary Cycles will teach your players how to quickly strike with initial scoring options. A competitive element is installed for this drill to help ensure that your players are striving to execute with maximum efficiency. The Three-Man Weave drill progresses through three different variations that become progressively harder over the course of the drill. This is a fantastic drill for developing full court passing and finishing. 3-on-0 Transition is the perfect drill for teaching your players specific scoring actions within your fast break attack. You will see examples of players rehearsing different drive & kick options as well as drag ball screens.

The Advantage Drill is a great scrimmage format that allows your players to compete through every advantage situation they could see offensively or defensively on fast breaks. This is a must-have drill for teaching players how to score intelligently in transition offense. The last transition drill that Coach Rhoades demonstrates is their 5-on-5 scrimmage. This is unique because they utilize a 12 second shot clock to demand a fast pace through the competition. If you want to run and spread the floor, then you're also going to need scorers that can excel through this style of play.

You will also get three additional shooting drills that develop shooting on the move through actions your athletes will see in transition, in addition to expanding their range in any situation they might see in the game.

This is a must-have video for any team that wants to play fast on offense. The concepts and drills presented by Coach Rhoades will help any coach excel using any offensive system!
