Secondary break
Act u16 secondary break
Point guard (1) should clear "traffic" and be looking to pass within 2 1/2
dribbles. The ball
should be passed to either side as soon
as possible.
Although I have diagrammed the play with traditional positions (eg centre
and power forward trailing) the key is for players to just fill whatever
position.
The inside trailer opposite the wing that receives the ball, flashes to the
low post.
Wing player reverses the ball to the trailer, and low post moves up to back
screen trailer.

Hammer and Nails Transition

Category : Offense motion
PlayName: 2-guard 4-out-1-in motion
Although these are the ideal starting positions, I realise that because we
play man-to-man defense, things rarely work out this way. It is for this
reason that we nominate which position we will fill as the ball crosses
half-court.
O5 rebounds and starts the break by passing to the outlet O2 ... who should be screaming "OUTLET!"
O1 cuts to the middle (yelling,"MIDDLE!") to receive the pass from O2. If O1 does not get the ball, he should
continue through to fill the right-hand lane and O2 should dribble to the middle.
In this example, O3 runs wide on the left. O4 trails in the left-hand trailer lane. If O4 happened to beat O3 to the
outside lane, O3 would fill a trailer lane.
Our rule is whomever gets there first gets the lane. Outside lanes must be filled first.
The positions in the diagram are relative to O1, the ball handler in the
middle. The other players must call out the positions as they fill them:
O3 - "HAMMER LEFT!"
O2 - "HAMMER RIGHT!"
O4 - "NAIL LEFT!"
O5 - "NAIL RIGHT!"
The object of this secondary break is to "Hammer" the ball inside and
"Nail" the shot.
The wing position is our "Hammer" the low-post position is our "Nail".
As you can see from the diagram, you will end up in a 1-2-2 set with two low-posts. You can work out how you
transition into your offense set from here.
12
Secondary break
Hammer and Nails Transition
=====================
The key for our point guard, O1, to start the secondary break is when he
sees three or more defenders in front of him.
Another key that we are starting our secondary break is that O3 can "hit
the baseline" and pop back out to receive the ball at the wing. In effect,
he "V" cuts. However, this is not necessary. He may just receive the ball
on the wing and await developments.
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE SECONDARY BREAK IS TO HAMMER THE BALL INSIDE!
13
Secondary break
Hammer and Nails Transition
=====================
O1 passes to O3 who has done a "V" cut through the elbow to get open.
O5 runs the baseline when O1 passes to O3 and pops out behind the
screen set by O4.
14
Secondary break
Hammer and Nails Transition - Progression A - 3-on-0
========================================
O3 rebounds the ball off the backboard and throws an outlet pass to O2.
O3 starts up the inside lane.
O1 cuts to the top-of-the-key area.
O2 passes to O1.
Alternately, O3 fakes the pass to O2 (he's not open) and hits O1 at the
top-of-the-key with the first pass.
Points of Emphasis
==============
You could have them play 2-on-1 back the other way. The man that took
the shot, O3 in this case, being defense.
Points of Emphasis
==============
1) O2 stays wide! He should be running in the outside lane (~ 3'-5' from each sideline).
2) O3 should stay behind the first pass to the wing, then cut hard to the low-post.
3) Go as fast as possible, but under control.
15
Secondary break
Hammer and Nails Transition - Progression B - 4-on-0
========================================
The middle man needs to be able to successfully recognise which side the
Nail is on and pass to the Hammer on that side. Good practise in calling
the positions.
Points of Emphasis
==============
Points of Emphasis
==============
16
Secondary break
Hammer and Nails Transition - Progression C - 4-on-2 or 3
===========================================
The next step is for the middle man and the "Hammers" to be able to
recognise :
1) when to attack in a traditional fast-break
- 3-on-1
- 3-on-2
2) when to wait for the Nails.
- 4-on-3
- 5-on-4
The key is how many defensive men are back. Against 1 or 2 defense, we
attack quickly.... if 3 or more are back we go into the Hammer and Nails
transition and from that into our offense proper.
Controlled Scrimmage -
Coach passes to O3. Defenders 1,2 and 3 must try to stop the break any
way they can. O4 and O5's men (the X's) must touch the baseline before
running back on defense to simulate a two step head start for the offense.
Controlled Scrimmage -
If the offense scores, they get to do it again back the other way.
If the defense forces a turn-over in play or gets a rebound, they Hammer
and Nail back the other way and try to score. If they score, this original
defense gets to stay on offense and do it again.
If the turn-over goes out-of-bounds, the other team gains possession and
they start over.
Play only stops when a basket is scored or the ball goes out-of-bounds.
17
Secondary break
High low lob to motion
The 5 man usually trails on the inbounds and breaks. This set is used to
start the motion offense. The idea is try to get a quick shot with the lob
with the 5 man.
4 man thens pops out to the top and 2 man goes and sets another screen
for the 5 man.
The 5 man then cuts across the lane to post up for a possible entry pass.
Now that all options are taken up with the 5 man, the motion offense or
freelance game starts.

Kansas
4 inbounds the ball or has the rebound.
4 starts with a pass to the guard 1, who is at the same side as the rebound
and parallel to the free throw line. This way the center knows where to
look.
As this play shows the secondary option 1 doesn't pass the ball to the
flyers 2 or 3.
5 fakes low and comes to the low post on the ball side
