Coach ,
Playing with tempo, pace and space is what the trend is in today’s basketball. Players love the freedom to create and play with freedom. Two great clinics from Sun's assistant Matt Hill and Coby Karl assistant coach of the 76ers deep dive into improving your transition offense.
Here are some ideas from two of the best to help teach these things and give you schemes, player development, concepts, and ideas to help improve yourself and your program.
Matt Hill - Transition Offense from the Atlanta Hawks
In this clinic, Coach Hill takes the audience through the Atlanta Hawks' Transition Offence which created the 3rd highest quality of shots in the NBA (Shots in the paint and from the 3pt line) in the 2018-2019 season.
The video includes the method for how the Hawks divide the shot clock into phases, what they consider to be a great shot, how they space the floor, and how they attack to create advantages. He also goes into specific sets out of their "AB" and "C" spacing.
This clinic was shot on the court with youth players demonstrating. I think this offense that the Atlanta Hawks ran can be implemented at the youth level. Below are some sample videos of Coach Hill teaching the Atlanta Hawks Transition System.
Coach Hill in the video discusses the importance of having common terminology. I believe you need to have this in your program. It makes it easier for you to teach your offense and actions to your players.
