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.
