Remember yesterday when we talked about Jefferson's pattern offense? Here's the weird thing, they ran a great fast break. It was aggressive (not as aggressive as I would like, but that's just a style difference), and they had great spacing. When teaching how to run a fastbreak, I used to teach my kids to run around a cone that I had put at the halfcourt line about 3 feet from the sideline. This made the kids maintain great spacing as they came down the floor and gave them a great angle to attack the basket.
Now, here's my question. If you can see how well spacing and attacking works in a fastbreak situation, why can't you see the same advantages in a halfcourt situation? A reflex answer might be, "Well, it's five on five." True, but if you teach a real motion offense, you will be able to attack gaps in the defense and then you have off-ball numbers. Then, essentially, you have a fastbreak situation,
