Primary Break Situation

“Teach your players to read the situation”

3 on 2 --> 2 on 1

3 on 2 situation -
• Only people who can stay behind the 3pt line
are 3pt shooters.
• On the first pass, weʼre looking for:
• Jumpshot (off the glass).
• Touch pass for the layup.
3rd thing we look for is the shot fake:
• If the defense raises (at all) drive baseline
(force the help).
• If he does not react, he kicks back to the
point guard, who is ball side behind the 3pt.

2 on 1 - situation

• Lead person should always have the ball.

• Make the defender pick you up.
• Easier passing angle to the trailer.

 Fast Break
Everything starts with a good outlet.
• Get the outlet beyond the free throw line
extended (closer to center).

On the outlet:
• 2 and 3 fill the wings
• 5 fills the block
• 4 trails

* The goal is to get the ball inside as quickly as

possible.
* In the first 8 - 10 seconds we want to get
fouled or get a good shot.

First Read - Defense on the high side.

• 2 drives hard baseline (no real help).
• 5 slides up the lane, forcing the post
defender to decide.
• 4 dives to the weak side of the hoop.
• 1 circles in behind.

Second Read - Defense Fronting

• 5 seals their defender and calls for the skip.
• 2 skips the ball to the filling 4, who
immediately (a) passes to 5 or (b) drives the
open lane.

NCCP Level 3 Technical - Sylvia Hatchell - Quick Break - 2

 Third Read - Defense denying the pass back
to the point guard.
• 2 drives the lane to the junction area.
• 4 dives to the weak side of the hoop.
• 5 clears to short corner area.
• 1 circles in behind.

Point Guard - Free throw line

Point needs to attack and “create as much

havoc as possible.”

Decision making:
“If you can pass it to an open teammate before
you get to half court, then weʼre fast breaking.”
Entry Pass - “Whichever side you want to take
the ball to, take (at least) two dribbles the other
way”
• On the cross, the defense will (usually)
drop step, which opens up the passing
lane.

Quick Offense:

Rules: (Post follows first pass)

1. Guard to guard pass (spots), we
downscreen.
• There are four options off the down
screen: Pop, curl, backcut, re-screen
flare.
2. Guard to wing pass - cut and fill.

NCCP Level 3 Technical - Sylvia Hatchell - Quick Break - 3

 Hatchellʼs favorite movement:

Guard to guard pass, followed by guard to

wing pass.
* If you go away from your premier player,
youʼre screening away for her, as well as
clearing out for her.

Slice

Run if the defense is challenging the headman

pass.
• Changes strong side to weak side, which
forces the defense to change things out.
• Driving holes open up.

* You can double slice

Secondary Break - Shooter

• 1 passes the ball to the wing.

• 4 and 1 set a double staggered screen away
for 3 to get a 3pt shot at the top of the key.
• 5 posts up hard.
• 2 can:
• read the post defender and drive.
• pass to the cutting 3

* we can add a flare screen for 1 on this

option.

Drills and Thoughts
Rebound/Fill Race Drill
• everyone on the weakside is racing to get to
the block first.

Have the team do 2/4/8 consecutive trips.

• If a wing player is there first, she has to fill
the post (post will fill the weak side wing).

Variation:
• Post has to touch the ball
• On the post entry, we have diagonal skip
• Add 2/3/4 defenders on each end.

Coaching:
• Look to run our options vs. the different
defensive alignments.

Passing Faster than dribble example
