SECONDARY BREAK BASICS
Coach Divilbiss introduces the secondary break, the basic alignment and rules of the break:

• Each of the five positions and their responsibilities are covered
• Emphasizes the importance of getting the ball inside to the post player
• Stresses quick ball movement ("side-top-side") for open 3-point shot opportunities
• Teaches proper spacing and how to look for scoring opportunities before entering into secondary break

Run more to put pressure on your opponent's defense - not allowing them to get set.

In this on-court presentation, Frank Martin shares his coaching philosophy on the offensive end in his early offense attack. Martin believes to be a successful running team that you must run all of the time - not just when you have the lead. He views his role as a coach as getting the right players, the right shots, from the right spots. This philosophy allows the coach to entrust the players with more responsibility and control, which results in quick decision-making and quick plays.

Coach Martin's broken floor drills deals with the number's situations teams face during a game, whether it is 2-on1, 3-on2, 4-on-3, or 5-on-4. He demonstrates his 2-on-1 continuous drill and his 3-on-2 continuous drill. These lead into his 3-on-2 to 4-on-3 to 5-on-4 to 5-on-5 transition drill where scores are kept for offensive baskets as well as defensive stops. These scores are important for enforcing consequences at the end of practice. Throughout each drill he shares the rules and goals and how they translate to the broader game.

From the team drills, Martin goes into his individual breakdown drills for effective early offense. He takes you through drill work for the point guards, the wings and finally the big men. In each breakdown area, he goes through each player's rules, goals, and options within the early offense scheme.

He finishes with a look at a few of the secondary break plays he runs at Kansas State. These quick hitters include the Carolina action as well as ball screen actions.

Running a quick, early offense gives the defense no other choice but to foul in order to slow down the game. Coach Martin's team averaged 37 free throw attempts per game last season due in large part to their running style in early offense.

If you are looking for new ways to get your team running, then you need to take a look at the philosophies, drills, and actions in this DVD.

Coach Saintignon leads you through fundamentals for running the secondary break for your team. As the primary break gets the basketball up the floor, the secondary break reads the defense. Therefore there is no need to call out any plays, just your players reacting to the defense. Saintignon takes you through many different options out of the secondary break, starting with the wing entry option. This option looks for cutters and eventually works it way into a 3-out 2-in triangle offense. Saintignon presents more options to look for if the wing entry option is not available including the Trail Post, Screen and Roll, Dribble Clear, 2-man game and Simple Attack. Saintignon runs you through his playbook with diagrams, explaining where each person needs to be at each time. With this secondary break attack, your team will be able to read defenses easily and create open looks for baskets.

The three priorities in breaking are to get the ball up the floor as fast as possible, swing the ball from side to side, and look for numbers and attack when they are in your favor. In this excellent clinic demonstration, Larry Brown presents drills and teaching points to get stronger in these three areas. He begins with progression passing drills for full court basketball. Key components of these drills are leading with the pass, running and catching, communication, full speed lay-ups, using two hands and finishing at the rim. After pushing the ball up the floor, Coach Brown focuses on getting the ball inside to the post. He teaches offensive rotations on post feeds, skip passes from wing to wing, back screening on ball reversals and post to post butt screens in the paint. The pick and roll is also a feature of this offense that is presented by Brown. He introduces two wrinkles, Swing & Dive, as additional parts of the scheme. Taking pages from current NBA teams and players, Coach Brown also demonstrates four excellent offensive looks from the pick and roll package!
