Outlet to side...THEN pass to PG
« Thread Started on Nov 3, 2009, 10:36am »
I'm reading Bill Kuchar's book & he describes his break, where the outlet is thrown to #2, who then hits #1 breaking in the middle, who then leads the break. I know this isn't revolutionary or anything (I remember seeing this in some older books a while back), but what are the pros & cons of this vs simply inbounding to the point guard to begin with ? Just curious.

Yep, alot of teams have had great success with this. The old "Laker Break" used this principle and so does DrD's "Attack" break.

I think the "con" of running any specific break is predicatability, unless you have taught it with multiple seemless options. If #2 or #1 is taken away, what do you do next? The key is that your kids can play fast and smart without "thinking" and just playing.

I ran this kind of break with my team last season and more than half of our points came from fast breaks. It was real simple. Just make sure they know what to do if they can't get it to the side outlet or the #1 guard in the middle.

Coach, could you share your counters for these situations.


thanks

I really like this way of running the break, one thing that I like is it develops lead guard skills for a few different players. At my level in middle school you can get away with either one of your guards or even quick forwards who can handle taking the ball up on the break and not lose a whole lot. By the end of the season you can have a few kids who are really proficient running a break.

I don't put my guard in the middle. We pass outlet and up the sideline or post in the middle and diagonal if the sideline is denied.

Dr. D, I am a young coach and have always been taught and taught getting the ball in the middle on the break. What are the advantages of getting the ball up on the sideline?

We're looking to push the ball with our point guard, who's lightning quick. Unfortunately, we don't have any depth behind him. I'm concerned that we'll tire him out and/or be one dimensional using him to push the ball. Any suggestions?

Outlet with other players ... pass ahead to point on the sideline then have him dribble push sideline on middle for 2 on 1 not 3 on 2 breaks ...
