Free Throw Attack

Diversify our offensive attack by using free throws to initiate the fast break.

Priority 1. Prevent offensive rebounds. 
Priority 2. Take care of the basketball. 
Priority 3. Transition attack. 



One schema for transition offense with 3 a player with good hands and capable finisher. 


Drill for same. 


What ingredients are necessary? 

  • Will to run
  • Conditioning
  • Consistent rebounders
  • Finishers 
MSU Coach Tom Izzo has free throw counterattacks. 



We don't have the practice time to implement more complexity. 

Lagniappe: How do we increase our points per possession? I don't know whether a free throw attack offense will generate enough layups or successful free throws to make it worthwhile. Preseason tournaments may provide an answer. Employ a proven calculus when implementing new ideas.
