This instructional DVD by Mike Jones, head basketball coach of nationally acclaimed DeMatha Catholic High School, shows you how to put your team in attack mode by beating your opponent down the court in every possession.

Using on-court demonstrations, Coach Jones covers various quick-strike, fast-break strategies from inbounding the ball to running lanes to player responsibilities. He also includes several passes every player must be able to make.

DeMatha's up-tempo "Bingo" offense creates a seamless transition from one phase of offense into another without stopping to reset players. Emphasis is placed on pushing the ball up court quickly with well-timed, well-executed passes. Jones also looks at quick decision-making against defensive pressure with a strategy called "Bingo recognition."

The "Bingo" offense requires tremendous conditioning. To ensure your players can meet the demands of this effective yet intense offense, Jones offers 13 different conditioning drills ranging from simple two-ball passing and three-man weave all the way to "Bingo" recognition.

He emphasizes the importance of communication and accurate ball handling in the development of the fast break. All drills focus on spreading the ball, making game passes and taking shots from the floor in situations that simulate real-game play. Each drill is designed to develop players' athleticism and reaction time.

Jones shows how he has maintained the momentum of coaching great Morgan Wootten. Learn from the best-improve your fast break offense with strategies responsible for DeMatha's string of championship successes.

Coach Izzo believes in scoring quickly by pushing the ball up the floor. The numbered break puts each player in a position to score. Izzo stresses that this fastbreak limits turnover and confusion by players. Two- and three-man drills are the first step in building a productive fast break. These drills can serve as a warm-up and are good for conditioning. Other drills include the 3-on-2 drill, which introduces the drop off pass and teaches players to make good decisions at the end of the break, and his all time favorite drill - a progressive 2-on-1 drill. This drill covers decision making, defensive transition and communication. Izzo emphasizes that all drills help players make decisions with and without the ball. All pieces are put together in 5-on-5 full court fashion.

During a National Championship season, Coach Lamar's team shot 55 % from the field. This efficiency is due mainly to their fastbreak that produced a large number of lay ups. Getting up and down the floor is their main priority, and every drill in practice has that goal in mind. The 5-4-3 drill is a staple in Lamar's practice and focuses on communication. Other drills work on passing, catching and making lay-ups without dribbling the ball. Lamar changes the rules on each variation of a drill making players think on the run. In addition, MidAmerica Assistant Coach Bill Fleming presents his 15-minute workout.

Coach Vetter covers the fundamental components to his fast break system, including the concept of 'dribble economy.' Vetter believes the dribble is over used and coaches need to address this issue with their teams. To make his point, he instructs players to dribble from baseline to baseline in 3 or 4 dribbles. From half court, he proves that one or two dribbles are more than enough for high school players. Vetter shares his in-bounds philosophy, which is the catalyst to the fast break. After the in-bounds pass, players assume their roles down the floor and execute their secondary break, which is full of great scoring options. Options include pop, corner, loop, follow and hold. Reading the break is a gained skill that can help your team to efficiently take advantage of any defensive mistake. Vetter makes a convincing argument for using the secondary break at any level. Vetter includes a number of drills to help build fast break drills. These drills use the full court and demand precision passing, catching and finishing - all in a game-like situation.
