In the best of all possible worlds, transition flows into cutting, screening, and passing or a dribble-drive type of offense, depending on your personnel. That could be a rules-oriented approach like Dean Smith's "Passing Game" or something very different.
With young players and limited practice time, I need to remember "simple is better" and recognize that we have a lot to learn regarding instinctive play. When we have implemented 'set plays' (the most basic of the 'Horns' series), we generate much better scoring chances. We have some skill and quickness, but very little size.
I'm sure that using a two guard front with either the 4-out, 1-in approach or modifications of the two guard front "Hinkle system" (beware of dinosaurs), we would also generate better quality shots. Without size, I prefer to operate offense away from the basket and get cutters or drivers into space.
FastModelSports shares some ideas for drilling in the half court.
The article expands the drilling to 4 on 2 to offer pass and screen options.
What I should do better is clarify expectations about the options for players to attack before the defense is fully established. It makes sense to have the 2 and 3 at the wings and the 4 or 5 as trailer but ready to get into the attack off the pass. Ideally, filming practice (losing my mind here) to illustrate failure to pass and cut or pass and screen makes the most (unreasonable) sense.
Some teams emphasize attack with the first big downcourt cutting to the ball side block. If you have a dominant post player that makes great sense.
