2-on-1 Fast Break

How it works

2-on-1 Fast Break: Two offensive players start at half court on opposite sides. Defender starts under the basket. Coach passes the ball to one of the offensive players — the 2-on-1 begins.

1. Two offensive players start at half court on opposite sides. Defender starts under the basket.
2. Coach passes the ball to one of the offensive players — the 2-on-1 begins.
3. Offensive players attack at full speed. Ball handler pushes toward the middle.
4. If the defender drops to protect the rim: pull-up jumper or pass across for the layup.
5. If the defender steps up: pass to the cutter for the easy layup.
6. Rotate: passer stays, scorer goes to defense, defender goes to the line.

Coaching tips

Ball handler must attack the nail — force the defender to commit one way. Never stop your dribble in a 2-on-1 until the decision is made.
