Transition Offense with Breakdown Drills

Looking to score quickly? VCU head coach Mike Rhoades has developed a fast break system that is designed to strike quickly in the first few seconds of the shot clock. It is a system that has helped Rhoades to four NCAA tournament appearances and win three consecutive ODAC Coach of the Year awards while at Division III Randolph-Macon.

In this video, Coach Rhoades lays out the rules and responsibilities of his transition offense. You will learn how to react to dribble penetration as well as drills to build the fast break. If you want to play fast, Coach Rhoades can show you how.

Transition Offense Structure and Implementation

Coach Rhoades reviews the job of every player on the floor in the fast break. The idea is to get the ball out quickly to guards running wide. Rebounders secure the ball and outlet quickly to get the ball moving up the floor. Rhoades also shows you how to do this after a made basket.

As the ball moves up the floor, Coach Rhoades discusses maximizing spacing as well as the different options that are available in the fast break. He emphasizes attacking the defense before it has a chance to set up. You will also see how all five players react to drive and kick situations to help maintain a continuous attack while an open shot is created.

Coach Rhoades demonstrates eight different drills that will help you build the fast break offense and commit to an up-tempo style of play. These drills include:
