| Now for quick breaks, There will be
plenty of quick breaks, but it is {mpd another out-of-
bounds play, if you can impress your a with that fact.
Tell them this «= that as soon as they lose possession
of that ball have every man on your team take thirty
quick driving steps back toward your basket. This, of
course, applies to your defense, If you will have those
fellows count thirty steps and run them as rapidly as
possible as soon as they lose the, ball you will have a
dandy defense. Or, in other words, I should say ey
will be in a splenaia position for defensive work, It
will be up to you, of course, to teach them the skills
‘attendant with a good defense,

, On quick breaks we do not use timing
plays, but we de use the revolving triangle, or the
rolling offense, We do not use screening with fast _
breaks, We use the fast break in an effort to beat thr
opponent to the basket, but if they have an equal numbor
of defensive men ahead of us then we use set plays on
them and that is when the screen is worked,

ce The purpose of the fast break is to get
two offensive mon on one defensive man, three offensive
men on two defensive men, and so forth. ‘The moment we
can do this we set the play up, because the defense is
ordinarily stronger than the offense if the defensive
team or a has as many men back to meet the offensive
group, if you have the samo number in the defense as
you have in the offense, then we employ set plays. I
think you ean easily see the reason for this, because
in set plays if you have the legitimate disposition and
fakes you can screen & man yery easily on account of the
small space involved, when it is considered there are
ten mon in that space, a

! 7 If the defensive man moves over to meet
@ man for man opponent, the other fellow can employ a
sereen on him without the victim being able to diagnose
quickly enough the play situation, That is why it works,

, Answering your question concerning the
sereening of B and A, I wovld say that if the ball does
not arrive A should divert his attention for the moment
from that man and go to another opponent until the play
‘could be set up again, the ball being out in front so

that it could be repassed so the play would work.
