Chris Mack – Xavier Transition Offense
Philosophy They are full disclosure at Xavier Everything is open If you are going to be a good coach you have to have good players (JV Story) 6 years as girls JV Coach Took players– to watch Xavier women practice There are a million ways to do things. None are right, none are wrong but you have to believe in it!– Must be able to create cheap buckets, they do this by: o Offensive Rebounds o Out of Bounds plays 12 to 15 in their package o Get some in Transition Rules in transition are not to handcuff but to organize – They call their transition (primary– break) Phoenix o When phoenix breaks down they go to their Flow Game Rebounding Rules and Responsibilities If the 4 or 5 rebound Other big becomes the Rim Runner (RR) o Rebounder can only outlet to the PG . This allows– wings to run and there is never any confusion o RR Looking for over the top pass then sealing as deep as possible If 1, 2, or 3 rebound o They– are pushing the ball all interchangeable in transition o Other 2 guards sprint wide = Split Sides or Paired Side o Cannot cross the court Paired– side=no RR interference . Get to the deep corner Complete Your Run . Heals on the sideline– promotes spacing o 4 and 5 are in a race to be the –rim runner Always trying to advance the ball with – the pass Advance Pass looks for: o Advance Layup for the RR or the wing o Advance Drive and Kick Opposite – o Advance and In – Wing post entry PG makes the decision to advance– pass before half court. Their first dribble should be toward the middle– of the court If the ball is advanced Passer must cut opposite Pass can go to either wing o Down the Street– same side as the ball o Across the Street advance pass to the opposite wing PG will almost never advance – the ball to the paired side (unless easy layup) If there is no advance pass, – the PG will call for a Drag ball screen
