Transition build-up
 | 1 Fullcourt build-up drills for transition defence. See Defence - Transition basics. a) 1 on 1 Defender X1 and attacker 1 start in the paint, - as coach shoots, X1 breaks to a short safety position near the top of the circle - coach rebounds, 1 cuts to a ballside outlet position and gets an outlet pass. Play to a stop or score at the far basket. Progression - X1 can contest the outlet pass. |
 | 2 Option - start at both baskets, use one side of the court going each way. |
 | 3 b) 2 on 2 X1 is a long safety, X2 is short safety (or vice versa), they get back as coach shoots. Option - players circle coach until he shoots. |
 | 4 Coach rebounds, 1 breaks to get the outlet pass, X2 takes 1, 2 looks for a headman pass, X1 tries to take that away, go fullcourt. Progression - 1 or 2 can break for the outlet pass. Option - start at both baskets, use one side of the court each way. See Pressing - White & black. |
 | 5 b) 3 on 3 Coach chooses the defensive rebounder by tossing the ball after shooting. Team X is outside the paint, coach shoots, safeties X1 and X2 get back, X3 crashes the offensive board, 1-2-3 box out X3 and get defensive rebounding position. Option - X1 and X2 start in the corners, see Transition - Disadvantage. |
 | 6 Coach tosses the ball to 1, 2 or 3 (a defensive rebound), X3 matches up with the rebounder, X2 takes an outlet pass, X1 has the remaining attacker (here 2), go fullcourt. Option - X3 can jam the rebounder, delaying an outlet pass. See Transition - Swiss 3 on 3 converting. Progressions a) Live on coach's shot, make or miss (if team X offensive rebounds and scores, give the ball back to coach, re-start), play up and back or to a dead ball, variations - coach shoots again on a make, or team O inbounds. b) 4 on 4 - an offensive rebounder sprints back to release the long safety. c) 5 on 5 - two rebounders sprint back. See Transition - Disadvantage, 5 on 0 defensive transition, 5 on 5 defensive transition, Fast break - Tar Heels 5 on 5, Circle break, Rebounding - 4 on 4 closeout.  |
