TRANSITION OFFENSE SYSTEM: SPRINT, SPACE, SHARE (BRANNEN)

Transition offense creates opportunities for teams to play with pace. In this on-court presentation, John Brannen discusses how he creates pace with his transition offense. This system gave Coach Brannen's teams at Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati an advantage that has resulted in regular season conference titles at both schools. To develop his transition offense, Brannen uses a whole-part-whole approach to demonstrate and teach his system. Behind this teaching are three important things that lead to an effective transition offense: "sprint, space, and share." Coach Brannen uses a push rate metric designed to get the ball across the half-court line in very short order. The approach to sprinting the floor requires that the tempo goes fast, but more so on made shots. As a goal, Brannen wants his players to get the ball across the court within four seconds of gaining possession on a missed shot or a steal. On a made shot, the ball should be across the half-court line within three seconds. All players should be across half-court within six seconds. If there is one standard that Coach Brannen holds his team to, it is to sprint every cut. This is emphasized and demanded every day in practice and in every game. The first three steps are important in getting up the floor to create the speed and pace necessary to develop an effective transition game.
