Unleashing the Fast Break Transition with the Kelbick System: A Game-Changing Guide Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on utilizing the Kelbick System for fast break transition offense, a strategic approach that will revolutionize your team's ability to score in transition. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the Kelbick System, providing you with expert insights, advanced techniques, and detailed breakdowns to help you outrun and outscore your opponents on the basketball court. Whether you're a coach, player, or enthusiast, this guide is your key to unlocking the full potential of the fast break transition with the Kelbick System. Understanding the Kelbick System The Kelbick System is a highly effective offensive strategy developed by renowned basketball coach Coach Kelbick. This system emphasizes quick decision-making, precise passing, and intelligent positioning to maximize scoring opportunities in fast break transition situations. By implementing the Kelbick System, your team can gain a significant advantage by capitalizing on fast break opportunities and scoring before the defense has a chance to set up. Key Principles of the Kelbick System 1. Speed and Conditioning The foundation of the Kelbick System lies in speed and conditioning. Players must be in peak physical condition to execute fast breaks efficiently and effectively. This includes developing speed, agility, and endurance to outrun opponents and maintain a relentless pace throughout the game. 2. Quick Decision-Making In fast break situations, quick decision-making is crucial. Players must make split-second choices on whether to pass, shoot, or attack the basket. The Kelbick System emphasizes the importance of making smart decisions under pressure, reading the defense, and capitalizing on scoring opportunities in transition. 3. Precise Passing and Timing Precise passing and timing are essential elements of the Kelbick System. Players must deliver accurate and well-timed passes to teammates in stride, allowing for seamless transitions and efficient scoring opportunities. Additionally, players without the ball must anticipate passes and make sharp cuts to create passing lanes and keep the defense off balance. Implementing the Kelbick System for Fast Break Transition To successfully implement the Kelbick System for fast break transition offense, teams must focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your team's ability to score in transition: 1. Conditioning and Speed Development Developing speed and conditioning is paramount for executing fast break transitions effectively. Implement a rigorous training regimen that focuses on improving players' speed, agility, and endurance. This includes sprints, interval training, and specific drills designed to enhance explosiveness and stamina. 2. Communication and Court Awareness Effective communication and court awareness are critical during fast break situations. Players must communicate with each other, calling out openings, and signaling for the ball. Furthermore, maintaining a high level of court awareness enables players to recognize scoring opportunities and make quick decisions based on the positioning of teammates and defenders. 3. Outlet Passes and Quick Transitions The outlet pass is a vital component of the Kelbick System for fast break transition. After securing a defensive rebound, players must immediately look for an outlet pass to initiate the fast break. The outlet pass should be accurate, delivered with speed, and aimed at advancing the ball up the court quickly. Quick transitions, with all players sprinting up the court, help exploit defensive vulnerabilities and create scoring chances before the defense can regroup. 4. Spacing and Timing Proper spacing and timing are crucial during fast break transitions. Players must sprint to  the appropriate spots on the court, ensuring optimal spacing and creating passing lanes. This allows for quick and efficient ball movement, setting up scoring opportunities for trailing teammates. Timing is equally important, as players must have a sense of when to attack the basket, make cuts, or pull up for open jump shots. 5. Offensive Rebounding and Second-Chance Opportunities The Kelbick System encourages offensive rebounding during fast break transitions. Players should be relentless in crashing the boards, anticipating missed shots, and capitalizing on second-chance opportunities. Offensive rebounds not only lead to immediate scoring chances but also put additional pressure on the defense and create a continuous flow of scoring opportunities for your team. The Benefits of the Kelbick System for Fast Break Transition Implementing the Kelbick System for fast break transition offense offers numerous benefits that can elevate your team's scoring ability and overall performance. Let's explore some key advantages: 1. Increased Scoring Opportunities By capitalizing on fast break transitions, the Kelbick System creates an abundance of scoring opportunities for your team. The emphasis on speed, quick decision-making, and precise passing allows you to score before the defense can set up. This fast-paced approach puts constant pressure on opponents and significantly increases your team's chances of putting points on the board. 2. Defensive Disruption Executing the Kelbick System in fast break situations disrupts the opposing team's defense. The speed and precision of your transitions catch defenders off guard, forcing them into reactive positions and making it difficult for them to defend effectively. This disruption leads to defensive breakdowns, mismatches, and scoring advantages for your team. 3. Momentum Swing Successful fast break transitions not only lead to immediate scoring but also create momentum swings in the game. The high-speed, high-energy style of the Kelbick System can electrify your team and energize the crowd. This momentum swing can demoralize opponents, provide a psychological advantage, and fuel your team's confidence throughout the game. 4. Increased Tempo and Control The Kelbick System enables your team to dictate the tempo of the game. By implementing fast break transitions, you keep the game at a high pace, forcing opponents to adapt to your speed. This increased tempo allows your team to maintain control, create mismatches, and exploit defensive weaknesses. Conclusion The Kelbick System for fast break transition offense is a game-changer that can elevate your team's scoring ability and overall performance on the basketball court. By implementing the key principles, strategies, and techniques outlined in this guide, you will equip your team with the tools necessary to outrun, outscore, and outmaneuver opponents in transition. Remember, mastering the Kelbick System requires practice, conditioning, and a commitment to executing quick decisions under pressure. So, embrace the fast break, unleash your team's potential, and watch as your fast break transitions become a formidable weapon. The path to fast break excellence starts here!

Brian Field has gained so much knowledge from one of the best brains of the NBA world. From Dave Price to Kipper Todd to David Carrier he has been learning from all of the greats of the game. Field has also made a full court pressing system which is based on the details and philosophies from each coach. Well, to be very honest his system of full court defensive system is no doubt one of the most chaotic system in the Basketball and the reason is his abilities to create unthinkable traps in the court. Black 1-2-1-1 Well, in the typical 1-2-1-1 full court trapping defense, all you have to do is to increase your speed up and force some rushed shots and passes. But the case is different in this case as the coach field uses the same philosophy but there is an addition of the flooding system. The moment ball gets into the front court and into the deep corner, the defense floods the paint that eventually saves the rim from easy baskets. The coach Field uses this system off of any made basket in the paint.Whenever you are forcing the opponent player to play a false shot or turn the ball over, your team will be there to assist you and will help you create re-tapping angles and opportunities. Communication is everything for this kind of defense. White Run and Jump Man-to-man-run and jump press are shown by the coach Field while building on his defense system. He has explained everything so beautifully and has highlighted key points like the element of surprise and why he doesn’t this as a typical run and jump press.The moment defense turns their back at the half court, the trail defender is being used by the coach Field for sprinting ahead and trap just after half court. This will allow a long, cross the court skip pass as an open look out of the trap. The team will be able to make create deflections and pressure all over the floor when they take away the passing lanes with off-ball defenders. Full 2-2-1 This is kind of a traditional approach which is being used by the coach Field. He uses the 2-2-1 full court press to lure the opponents in traps and forces them to make mistakes just pass half court. So, its all about breaking into the strengths of the opponents and forcing them up the sideline into a trap with his most athletic and long players. When the ball starts moving up the floor, the trapping players start moving up the floor as well. Eventually, the players start to trust each other as they will set out once the traps occur to cover open areas. Blue 2-3 Zone Trap The coach Field tries to change the pace while taking advantage of the stoppage in play. Using a packed in style of play, guards start the implementation of the trap the moment ball gets below the free throw line. The defenders will be focusing on trapping in the deep corner and only allowing a skip pass. Pink 1-3-1 So, there is another technique which is very effective in the Field’s Chaos pressing system which is Pink 1-3-1. In this half court trap technique, the players fly all over the floor trapping in the four corners. This trapping defense is being used by the coach Field to trap in the high corners, low corners, or all over; this style of defense is used at a stoppage of play or during a timeout.

Comprehensive Guide to the Flex Offense Bob Schlosser has built an NCAA Division III power at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania using his version of the Flex offense. A former head coach at Allentown (PA) Central Catholic, Schlosser has totaled more than 500 wins in his illustrious career. Schlosser’s take on the Flex eliminates the down screen in an effort to create easy scoring opportunities. He breaks it all down in this informative video. Flex Offense Continuity Coach Schlosser details exactly how his Flex offense works and how he uses it to create open shots. He will outline some of his basic rules that his team uses depending on where the ball is passed. You will see a number of variations to the Flex one of which is the use of flare action rather than the traditional down screen. Schlosser feels this allows for more dribble penetration and it also prevents defenses from overplaying passing lanes. Here, you will also see some of the counters that Schlosser uses to keep defenses from just going through the motions. These counters can be used to produce an easy score against defenses that do simply go through the motions or those that attempt to overplay the Flex. Flex Offense Breakdown Drills Coach Schlosser breaks down the actions of the Flex offense into seven different drills. Each drill helps with the installation of the offense and reinforces the actions of the Flex. The drills work on basic skills like getting into the triple threat position as well as simulating how players are to get into the offense from various spots on the floor. Other drills work on backdoor cuts, passing to the open man, and finishing at the rim. Entry Passes and Out of Bounds Plays Coach Schlosser uses seven different entry passes into the Flex offense each with its own variations. This keeps a defense off balance and allows for open looks early in the offense. Adding different counters with all of these entry passes makes it virtually impossible for an opponent to get a bead on all of the possible actions of Coach Schlosser’s Flex offense. In addition, you will see how Schlosser uses sideline and baseline out of bounds plays to get right into the Flex. With all of the possible combinations and actions, defenses have a hard time defending Schlosser’s system. Flex Transition Offense While the Flex is known as a half-court offense, Coach Schlosser takes it a step further by expanding it to the full court. By using stagger screens and screen-the-screener actions, Schlosser’s teams get a lot of great looks at the basket early in the possession. He shows you two of his set plays off the break that allow for both a post-up and a double stagger for your best shooter. This 57-minute video offers a unique take on the Flex and is a must for those looking to install the Flex or improve on their own version of the offense. Rent this Flex Offense DVD today.

Bob Huggins: Full & Half-Court Pressure Defense West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins is the master of pressure defense and shares with you system in this video. Huggins has over 850 career wins and has taken his teams (Akron, Cincinnati, and West Virginia) to 24 NCAA tournament berths. He has done it largely because of his relentless full-court pressure defense. In this video, Huggins gets into the details of his defense, how it developed, keys he uses with his players, and drills that he uses on a daily basis. Press Philosophy For Huggins, pressure defense is all about effort and activity. You will hear Huggins talk about how to encourage players to play with maximum effort. Coach Huggins will show you how the principles of half-court defense are extended into the full court. One of the most basic principles in Huggins’ system is forcing a ball handler to go to his weak hand. Another is making big post players dribble. Huggins likes to expose weak ball handlers. His defense does not give up any space and pressures opponents for all 40 minutes of the game. Players must pressure the ball at all times, deny inbound passes, and look for trapping opportunities. After a made basket, Huggins’ players immediately find their man and deny them the ball. Disrupt Spacing Offenses are based upon spacing which can help provide direct passes that lead to good shots. Coach Huggins’ defense forces teams to pass over, under, or around, but never through. Forcing passes that are not direct translates into poorer shots for offenses. Huggins believes in fronting the post to force lobs which take time and allows for the defense to rotate and get into position to defend it. Trapping Huggins makes all of his players constantly look for traps. Defenders force the ball to lines and give help defense in line. This leads to trap situations and also prevents direct drives to the basket. Players are taught to never play with their hands down. When they do, they are easier to screen. 4-on-4 + 1 Drill When you press and trap, you are going to have to play at a disadvantage at times. To prepare for those situations, Huggins uses this drill which he demonstrates for you. In 4-on-4 + 1, the defense plays at a disadvantage. The defense must rotate properly and pressure the ball to take away direct passes. Those playing help defense are on the help line and defenders one pass away are in the passing lane. Q&A Session Huggins finishes the session with a question and answer session. He is asked about pressing on a miss, trapping on a ball screen, and much more. If you are looking for a defensive system that can really frustrate opponents, Coach Huggins’ DVD is for you.

Players warm up with Star Passing, which eventually builds into 5-on-5 and even 5-on-7 scrimmages. Underwood also breaks his players into position groups where they go further in detail on the fundamentals needed to break the press. Coach Underwood shifts to defense and begins with a lecture segment. He shares a wealth of information about his half-court man-to-man. He describes the terminology and teaching points he and his staff use to teach players aggressive denial defense.
