Secondary fast break
(based on coachesclipboard.ca)

4 self rebounds and outlets to 1, who attacks the far basket. 4 will jump, catch with two hands, make a quarter turn in the air and land looking upcourt with the ball held at the ear with both hands.
 
Once 4 has the ball, 1 goes vertical to pressure the defence and create space, cuts straight back to the ball if 4 is in trouble (in the drill, holding the ball low). 1 can make a Steve Nash circle cut (cut in front of a defender as he cuts back).

Options

- 1 shoots to start, 4 rebounds and outlets a miss, inbounds a make
- 4 can use a vertical break-out dribble on a miss, 1 exit cuts upcourt
- add a defender who can guard the rebounder or outlet (if jammed, the rebounder pivots opposite and uses a vertical break-out dribble)
- add a second defender for 2 on 2.
 
Jay Triano - when a shot goes up the point guard gets his butt to the sideline. He can come back to the ball if pressured, otherwise can start going up the floor for a lead pass.
 
Peter Lonergan - Defining the Outlet - be on the move towards the sideline, catch an outlet pass near the elbow, front pivot, potentially make a pass. If there is no catch at the elbow, get butt to the sideline, foul-line extended.
 
Brent Tipton - 2 Side Transition - 1 loops to receive an outlet, stampedes the catch by already moving downhill with chest to halfcourt (running through the elbow).
 
Jr. NBA - Receiving the Outlet Pass - get your back to the sideline, be visible and verbal (call for the ball), catch on the move (upcourt).
 
Mike Brown - people teach their guards to come out to the wing and make themselves available, they don't do that, they want deep outlets, as soon as a guard reads that a teammate is about to get a rebound, turn and run up the floor for a pass on the run, often an overhead or maybe baseball pass.

Coming back, 4 rebounds and makes an inbounds pass (make) or outlet pass (miss).
 
After a make, 1 also creates space with a misdirect cut then shows his target hands on a circle cut back to the ball (for a control pass), or a back cut away from the ball (an attack pass).
 
If a defender shows chest in a game, 1 takes a couple of hard steps into him then back cuts; if the defender shows fingertips/forearm, 1 takes a couple of hard steps into him then face cuts to get in front - swim over a low arm, rip underneath a high arm. If the defender takes away the step-over, spin back the opposite direction.
 
1 makes the same reads on a miss, but must also read a break-out dribble by the rebounder.
 
1 or 4 can shoot coming back, e.g.

- 1 shoots a pull-up jumper
- 1 hits 4 for a trail shot
- drag pick and roll (shown).

Repeat up and back, or repeat unless (or until) both shots are makes.
 
Bruce Pearl - the point guard makes an inside turn for an inbounds pass, no closer than the foul-line extended. If denied, 1 makes a circle back move inside X1 for a lead or bounce pass (he will sometimes  fake and go upcourt).
 
Dave Arseneault - Fast Break - after a make, 1 tries to loop across the lane from weakside to ballside and receive an inbounds pass with a head of steam.
