Duke's emphasis on beating their opponent in switching from defense to offense and from offense to defense has become a hallmark of their success. Very rarely do they give up an easy fast-break basket, yet they score many breakaway buckets themselves. The Transition Game segment shows that this advantage is developed on the practice court by design, drills, and desire; and it describes how you can achieve this advantage for yourself or your team.
