In this video, former Division I head coach Fran Fraschilla demonstrates both the primary and secondary fast break set up. You will see how Fraschilla addresses the desire for quick and easy transition opportunities and how they can be the focus of an offense’s attack.

Do you have an extraordinary player? These are among several questions Fraschilla takes on in this 48-minute video. Fast Break System The fast break is the foundation for any offensive system because it presents the easiest – and fastest – way to score points. Coach Fraschilla presents a number of options for layups by your wing players as well as those for your post player making a run at the rim. Coach Fraschilla will use the whiteboard as well as on-court demonstrations to show you his fast break drills, which include a 2-on-1, a 3-on-1, and a 3-on-2 component. Each drill teaches players to continue shooting first until a defense commits to stopping you. Secondary Offense There will be times when the fast break is defended and an offense that allows for flow right into a secondary play will create more scoring opportunities. Coach Fraschilla’s system gives you an offense to run when the fast break breaks down or is simply well defended. Coach takes you through each step of the secondary offense. Running the secondary break can help an offense take advantage of a defense that is not well-organized for the transition from fast break to half-court defense.
