While at George Washington University, Coach Hobbs has developed a dangerous transition game that produces baskets quickly. The 2005-06 team averaged 78 ppg, lead the league in assists, while boasting five players with double figure averages. His philosophy is to score quickly in transition. He believes that a good coach must find a way to score easy baskets within its system. "Sharing the game" is the foundation of GW's selfless offensive play and requires players to pass to teammates with better shots. Because no player can hold the ball for more than 3 seconds, this brand of basketball is exciting, fast moving and puts great stress on the defense. Attacking the rim is an important principle in Hobb's transition game. This DVD will share the drills and philosophy that supports this explosive offensive game. The 2-on-0 drill stresses the long outlet pass, running the floor and finishing. The 3-on-0 drill adds the point guard who takes the outlet and passes ahead for the lay-up. An additional player is added to this drill, 4-on-0, allowing all four players to run the floor and have opportunities to score. Good passing skills are enhanced in all drills, which is imperative for successful transition basketball. The next progression is the 3-on-2, 2-on-1 drill. The most important focus is on scoring at the basket. Communication is crucial on both ends of the floor. "Share the game" is demonstrated on the 2-on-1 break with quick passes and hard drives to the basket. This same concept is applied to half court offense. Hobbs sets up his offense, adding great teaching points such as ball reversal, driving options, spacing and replacing. Combining transition to the half court offense allows coaches to witness the entire offensive package. Hobbs' collegiate point guard experience is evident in this coaching style. This DVD takes a look at an explosive offensive system that any coach could implement. The "Share the game" concept will help your team exploit the defense by wearing them down. Your team can score easy baskets like never before by applying the concepts illustrated in this excellent presentation.

A crafty point guard as a player at Bradley, Coach Les has made transition a part of the Bradley foundation. Building a mindset of quick transition from defense to offense has been a major emphasis. Wings are responsible for sprinting to half court, getting out ahead of the defense as the point guard pushes the ball. The non-rebounding post player becomes the "rim runner" on the other end. Once in the half court, the trailing post has the option to ball screen, or screen away. On penetration, each player has specific reactions to execute. This system puts pressure on the defense by driving the ball to the baseline and gaps in the defense. With perimeter-heavy teams, Les teaches 1, 2 or 3 to push the ball down the floor. By eliminating the outlet pass to the point guard, all three perimeter players can quickly advance the ball. Les cites the wide double screen and quick ball screen as weapons when the offense flows to half court offense. This offensive attack provides for great spacing, post up opportunities, penetration and open shots. Les also presents teaching points for running after a made shot. The drills Les demonstrates focus on ball handling, running, spacing, rebounding and decision-making. Les presents a running game that is an offense in itself.

Transition is a major part of the game of basketball today. The team that can master the transition game has a decided advantage. The five benefits of transition offense are looking ahead, pushing the ball, attacking the basket, reading the defense and knowing your options. The outlet and bust out dribble are keys to starting the quick transition game. Bloom teaches his players to get from 3-point line to 3-point line in two dribbles. The three-man drill gets big men to run the floor as the guard throws the ball ahead. Other drills include drive and kick, jump stop drill, pick and roll, pick and pop and the circle drill. Defensive transition is the cornerstone to solid defense. Keys include seeing the ball, getting below the ball, stop point of attack and avoid the reach or jump. Bloom demonstrates several drills to set up defensively. Excellent teaching throughout!
