NBA Transition, Early or Quick offense that you can use when all 5 defenders are back and matched up. These are quick hitters with one-word verbal calls made by your point guard or the coach. As a bonus, Brendan shares a great Side OB play for late game situations, especially when the defense is switching. The other situation is what we call “Corner”, the intersection of the baseline and the sideline. The purpose of this video is to make you “think”

Chris Oliver is a curious and inquisitive coach by nature, his method of teaching is built around asking questions and the learning then takes place. “Every time I hear Chris speak he stimulates my thinking.
