Transition Offense  |  Brandon Miller Butler Transition Offense 2014 Nike Vegas Clinic
– The most efficient way to score
-Track with points per shot
– Different levels of transition
– UNC (all systems go)
– Only run on live ball turnovers
– Where ever you fall your players need to know and be trained how you want them to push
– You must be committed to your transition offense
– Practice
– John Groce at Illinois is the best at teaching it
– All five guys must be capable of running
– Spacing and ball movement are essential
How transition offense beats teams  |  Brandon Miller Butler Transition Offense 2014 Nike Vegas Clinic
1. With Pace
2. With Space
3. With Ball Movement
4. It stops teams from crashing the offensive glass

Players must buy in to running

Playing up tempo will force you to play your bench, but also forces your opponent to play theirs.

Shot selection
Take great shots early and good shots late
Try to score in the first six seconds  |  Brandon Miller Butler Transition Offense 2014 Nike Vegas Clinic
– When utilizing this in practice drills create rules where a turnover by the offensive team is an automatic loss (This allows players to understand the importance of possessions)

Thoughts on Transition O
– The most difficult action to guard in basketball is a ball screen, the most difficult time to defend a ballscreen is in transition

– You need multiple guys to handle the ball on the break

– You get the ball up quicker if the rebounder can bring the ball up

– Adapt your transition game to your personnel

– Make it easy for your players to flow into your half court offense
RULES For transition  |   Brandon Miller Butler Transition Offense 2014 Nike Vegas Clinic

2) 2’s and 3’s sprint to corners
3) 4s and 5s stay out of the tunnel
4) 4s and 5s run opposite the ball
5) 4s and 5s space to shooting range
6) Always make the extra pass
7) No bodes crossing the middle of the floor NO ONE IN tHE TUNNEL
