Transition Offense: Flow, Freedom & Modern Fast Break Principles

In this comprehensive course designed for UKCC Level 3 Basketball Coaches, Coach Troy Culley—professional coach and long-time contributor to England’s performance pathway—guides you through the art and structure of transition offense.

Starting with foundational principles and progressing through layered teaching points, this course shows you how to build a transition system that is both purposeful and adaptable to your personnel. From understanding lanes and fast break phases to flowing seamlessly into early offense without unnecessary resets, you’ll learn how to maintain tempo, create consistent advantages, and allow players to make game-realistic decisions.

This isn’t a playbook of rigid sets. It’s a practical framework you can mould around your players—whether you have a dominant post, a shooter, or a scoring point guard. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to teach your team how to play with pace and control, generating high-quality shots while reducing turnovers and hesitation.

What You’ll Gain:

• A step-by-step progression from 2v0 to 5v5 transition breakdowns

• Strategies for flowing from transition into half-court offense without stopping

• Teaching cues to guide player reads, decisions, and movement

• Multiple alignment variations based on personnel (post-dominant, perimeter-focused, ball-handling guards)

• Situational breakdowns with diagram support and voiceover explanation

• Practical tips on how to coach the "why" behind your system

Bonus: Full downloadable PDF with diagrams and key teaching points included for your own planning and delivery.

Whether you're developing a philosophy or refining an existing system, this course is built to help you think critically about how to structure your offense for pace, efficiency, and clarity.
