[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] While some coaches may want to use the "Odd-Front Alignments" to utilize their secondary fastbreaks, others may prefer the "Even-Front Alignments" for their secondary fastbreak offensive scheme. The secondary fastbreak (or breaks) should integrate the offensive personnel's strengths and also benefit from any of the opposition's defensive weaknesses that are discovered. If the designated secondary fastbreak does not produce any points, a continuity offense (that is also fluid) can highlight the offensive personnel's major strengths, and take advantage of any uncovered Uncovered may refer to:

Basketball was conceived in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the YMCA college in Springfield, Mass. intelligence" could have one primary fastbreak (from turnovers and missed field goals) and then a different primary fastbreak off the opposition's made field goals. These two primary fastbreaks could then flow into one or two different secondary fastbreaks. Every coaching staff must perform evaluations, an analysis, and the determination of the advantages and disadvantages of "The Odd Front Secondary Fastbreaks" concept vs. "The Even Front Secondary Fastbreaks" before deciding upon the right secondary fastbreak(s) for their team.

Each of these "Even Front Alignment Alignment is the adjustment of an object in relation with other objects, or a static orientation of some object or set of objects in relation to others.
Diag. 1 shows the "Even Front Secondary Fastbreak" being run to the left and Diag.2 being run to the right side.

One disadvantage In policy debate, a disadvantage (abbreviated as DA, and sometimes referred to as a Disad) is an argument that a team brings up against a policy action that is being considered. Structure A DA usually has four key elements. of the "Even Front Fastbreak" is that it has a player (below the FT line extended) on the weakside who can give a well-coached defensive team extra help on the offensive post player located on the ballside block. A second disadvantage could be the three slightly longer perimeter-passing lanes that may make the pass a little more dangerous for the offensive players to make. Extra philosophy for an "Even Front Alignment Secondary Fastbreak": use it only if the designated Primary Fastbreak does not produce any points. A different "Even Front Alignment Secondary Fastbreak" can be executed executed 1) adj. to have been completed. (Example: "it is an executed contract") 2) v. to have completed or fully performed. (Example: "he executed all the promises made in the contract") 3) v. only if the opposition scores points on their offensive end of the court. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Several possible "Even Front Secondary Fastbreaks" with the major points of emphasis and the most effective placement of personnel are listed below. Note: If the "Even Front Alignment" is used, 1 must end up in his/her secondary fastbreak spotup position, which is always on the ballside and slightly above the FT line extended. 1.

It is vital for the coaching staff to realize the importance of not only advancing the ball as quickly and safely down the court by "passing the ball to anyone ahead of you that is open," but to also get the ball down to the (ballside) deep corner. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] The reasons are the same as for any "Odd Front Alignment," but they are so important that the coaching staff must not only know and understand them, but to sell their strong belief in these concepts to each and every player in the program. The first reason again is that it forces the opponents' defense to run farther and to defend more of the basketball court, and exacts both a physical and emotional toll on the defensive players and coaching staff. Third reason is that having the ball in the deep corner allows the fastbreaking offense excellent passing angles to make interior passes to the trailers. Flattening

See typeface. baseline - released version again allows many more opportunities for the offense, when the ball is reversed to the opposite side of the floor. Even though this secondary break can and should be run from either side, Diags. 3 and 4 show the first "Even Front Secondary Break" shown only on the right side. This particular secondary fastbreak could descriptively de·scrip·tive adj. 1. Involving or characterized by description; serving to describe. 2.

When the ball is passed back up from the deep corner (the 2 to 1 pass in Diag. 3), 1 should look to see if he/she can hit the "First Trailer" (4) sealing off his/her defender "on the block." [GRAPHIC OMITTED] If nothing inside is available, 1 should reverse the ball to the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5), who then swings the ball to the deep corner on his/her current side. 1 should then set a downscreen for 2 to use on the new weakside wing area. Immediately after 5 makes the pass down to the corner (3 in Diag. 3), the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) runs a "give-n-go cut" down to the vacant new "ballside block," while looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

This gives 3 an excellent opportunity to make an inside pass to 4, who is now posting up on the new "ballside block." When the ball is then passed up to 2, everyone should recognize that the "Even Front Secondary Fastbreak" has now been completed and that the continuity offense could then be initiated.

When the "Flex Continuity Offense" is designated as the offense to utilize after the chosen Primary Fastbreak flows into the designated "Secondary Fastbreak" both do not produce points; 3 initiates the "flex action" after 2 "re-reverses" the basketball to 1. See Diag. 4. Diags. 5 and 6 show another "Even Front Secondary Fastbreak" executed on the right side. This could be called "Chase and Flare." When the ball is passed back up from the deep corner (from 2 to 1 pass in Diag. 5), 1 should look to see if he/she can hit the "First Trailer" (4) sealing off his/her defender down "in the paint" and "chasing the basketball." If nothing inside is available for 1 or 2, 1 should reverse the ball to the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). As the reversal pass is made, the "Ballside Corner" (2 on the right side) immediately comes up and sets the proper angle to backscreen A back-screen is a basketball maneuver involving two players, a cutter and a screener. The screener remains stationary on the court while the cutter moves toward the basket and attempts to use the screener to separate himself from his defender. 1's defender. 1 then flare-cuts to the original "ballside corner area." In essence, 1 and 2 (or 3) have simply exchanged spotup positions as they did when 1 set a downscreen for 2. In this particular secondary fastbreak, the "First Trailer" (4) "chases the ball" by either "ducking in," or "sealing off" to get open on the new ballside of the floor (if the ball has been reversed to 5 and back to his original low post position if 5 makes the "skip pass" back to 1 in the deep corner). [GRAPHIC OMITTED] If the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) cannot get the ball inside to his/her teammate (4) that is posting up, the offense is again in the "Flex Offense The Flex offense is an offensive strategy in basketball developed in the 1970s. It is a patterned offense relying on cuts across the key (called a "flex cut") and down screens to create a "pick-the-picker" action. Spotup Positions." See Diag. 5. Whatever pass 5 makes whether it is to 4 inside, to 3 in the deep corner, to 2 on the "re-reversal pass" or to 1 on the "skip pass," this secondary fastbreak has been completed and the continuity offense should begin. This particular secondary fastbreak is especially effective if the "First Trailer" (4) is the most dominant post up player and if 1 is a very good perimeter shooter (especially off of the move and off of the pass). If the wings (or just one wing) are better perimeter shooters than the 1, then 1 could downscreen for that wing player (2 in this case) instead of flare-cutting off of the backscreen. See Diag. 6. The "Flex Man Continuity Offense" again is an ideal offense for the coaching staff to implement, particularly when integrated with this specific secondary fastbreak. Diags. 7 and 8 show another secondary break operating only on the right side, even though this secondary break can and should be run from either side. This name ("Pick and Down") accurately describes the action of the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) who picks 1 before then going to set a down-screen for the original ballside corner player. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] When the ball is passed back up from the deep corner (the 2 to 1 pass in Diag. 7), 1 should again look to see if he/she can hit the "First Trailer" (4) sealing off his/her defender. If nothing inside is available, 1 should look to receive a ballscreen (at the top of the key) from the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). 1 should then dribble across the top of the key off 5's ballscreen and look to execute To run a program, which causes the computer to carry out its instructions. See executable code, instruction and EXE file. execute - execution one of the following options: * Pull up for a jump shot. * Penetrate to the basket basket filled with treats, representative of feast on Easter Sunday.

See DBS. off" to the "First Trailer" (04 in this situation). The "First Trailer" (4) again "chases the ball" by doing whatever it takes to get open on the new ballside of the floor. As 1 is dribbling off the "Trigger-Second Trailer's" ballscreen (5), he continues in the same direction and then downscreens for the original ballside wing (2 in this instance) and ultimately ends up in the new "weakside deep corner." [GRAPHIC OMITTED] If the offense does not get a shot out of any of this action, the offense is now at least in the "Flex Offense Spotup" positions and could continue applying the offensive pressure by running the "Flex Offense" from this point on. When 1 kills his dribble on the opposite wing side, this secondary fastbreak is officially over and the designated continuity offense must begin. This secondary fastbreak should be used if 4 is a good post player and if 1 is a "creator Creator may refer to:
Diags. 9 and 10 illustrate another secondary break that can be utilized on the right side. Called "Pick-Roll," it describes what the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) does when the ball is up-passed from the original ballside corner (2 in this instance). When 1 receives the pass, he should look to see if he can hit the "First Trailer" (4) sealing off his/her defender on the "ballside low post." If 1 cannot initiate a pass inside to the "First Trailer" (4), 1 should look to receive a pick (at the top of the key) from the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). 1 should then dribble across the top of the key and look to do one of the following: [GRAPHIC OMITTED] * Pull up for the jumper The simplest form of an on/off switch. It is just a tiny, plastic-covered metal block, which is pushed onto two pins to close that circuit. It is used to select a myriad of functions on a printed circuit board or on a peripheral device. . * "Drive and dish off" to the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) on the basic "pick-roll" play. * Penetrate to the basket for a shot, or "Penetrate and pitch out" to the original weakside wing, located in the deep corner (3 in this case). As 1 dribbles off the ballscreen and 5 rolls to the basket, the "First Trailer" (4) must break straight up the lane to fill in the spotup position vacated by 1. This cut straight up the lane should help eliminate some "big" weakside defensive help by drawing out one of the bigger defenders (X4) and enabling someone (1) to reverse the ball, if need be. If the offense does not get a shot out of one of the many options and the ball is re-reversed, then the offense is at least in the "Flex Offense Spotup" positions. This means that the offense could possibly continue applying the offensive pressure by running the "Flex Offense' once 01 kills his dribble. This particular "Even Front Secondary Fastbreak" Option works well whenever both post players are equally effective inside and/or and/or conj. Used to indicate that either or both of the items connected by it are involved. Usage Note: And/or is widely used in legal and business writing. if 1 is a good "creator." See Diag. 10. Diags. 11 and 12 show still another secondary break being executed on the right side. This action is called ""Pick-Lob," which again describes 5's action on the return pass to 1. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] When the ball is passed back up from the deep corner (the 2 to 1 pass in Diag. 11), 1 should look again to see if he can hit the "First Trailer" (4) sealing off his defender on the low side. If 1 cannot initiate a pass inside to the "First Trailer" (4), 1 should look to receive a pick (at the top of the key) from the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). 1 should then dribble across the top of the key and look to do one of the following things (Diag. 11): * To pull up for the jumper. * To penetrate to the basket for a closer shot. * To "penetrate and pitch out" to the original weakside wing (3 in this case). * To reverse the ball to the "First Trailer" (4) after he/she has back-picked the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) (see Diag. 11), or * To lob (1) See BLOB. (2) (Line Of Business) Refers to people, job titles and product lines, all of which pertain to a specific product or service area of the business. pass to the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) after the "First Trailer" (4) has stepped up to back-screen for the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). This "(back) pick the (ball) picker" is a more modern version of the traditional offensive concept of "pick the picker." If this secondary fastbreak does not manufacture a shot out of one of the many choices that 1 has, as soon as the ball is "re-reversed" back to the original ballside, the offense can immediately continue by flowing from the "Flex Offense Spotup" into the "Flex Offense." [GRAPHIC OMITTED] This Secondary Fastbreak option works well, especially if both post players are equally effective inside and if the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) is a good leaper leap v. leaped or leapt , leap·ing, leaps v.intr. 1. To spring or bound upward from or as if from the ground; jump: leaped over the wall; salmon leaping upriver. for the lob pass. When 1 reverses the ball to 4, 1 goes to set an off-the-ball perimeter down-screen as the "ballside low post player." (4 in Diag. 12) ducks in toward the dotted circle to look for the "inside pass" from 4. 4 looks to hit 5 "in the paint," to 2 in the new "ballside corner," and 3 off of 1's downscreen. See Diag. 12. Diags. 13 and 14 show another "Even Front Secondary Fastbreak" shown only on the right side, even though this secondary break can and should be run from either side. This accurately named option is called "Pick and Flare," again describing 5's action when 1 receives the up-pass. When 2 does make the "up pass" to 1, 1 again should look to see if he can hit the "First Trailer" (4) sealing off his/her post defender (X4). If 1 cannot initiate an "inside pass" to the "First Trailer" (4), 1 should again look to for a pick (at the top of the key) from the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). Diag. 13 illustrates the options that 1 could utilize, and then dribble across the top of the key and look for one of the following: [GRAPHIC OMITTED] * Pull up for a long jump shot. * Penetrate to the basket for a closer shot for himself. * "Penetrate and pitch out" to the original weakside wing (3 in this case). * Pass to the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) after the original "ballside corner" (2) has back-screened his/her defender (X5) and has run a flare-cut to the original deep corner, or ... * Reverse the ball to the original ballside wing (2) after he has back-picked the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5). This "Even Front Secondary Fastbreak" is effective with just one good post player (use him as the "First Trailer") and especially if the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) is more of a perimeter player than a post player. After the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) receives the backscreen and makes the flare-cut to the deep corner, he should give the offense the advantage of having a perimeter player--a "driver/creator" (if 5 fits that description) against the defense's second post player. That would create an offensive position mismatch mismatch 1. in blood transfusions and transplantation immunology, an incompatibility between potential donor and recipient. 2. one or more nucleotides in one of the double strands in a nucleic acid molecule without complementary nucleotides in the same position on the other by having a post player (turned perimeter player) being guarded against a defensive post player, as long as the "Trigger-Second Trailer" (5) has been placed on the perimeter by the backscreen. If no shots are produced out of any of the many options in this offensive action, the offense will at least be in the "Flex Offense Spotup" positions after the ball has been "re-reversed" to the original ballside (to 2 or to 5). This "reversal pass" will continue applying the offensive pressure by running the "Flex Offense" with 4, then setting a backscreen for 3 and 1 then setting a downscreen for 4. See Diag. 14. Future basketball coaches will be the kind of coaches who persistently per·sis·tent adj. 1. Refusing to give up or let go; persevering obstinately. 2. Insistently repetitive or continuous: a persistent ringing of the telephone. 3. apply intense pressure on the offensive end of the court, as well as exert various types of defensive pressure on their opponents' offenses. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Teams can utilize many obvious types of defensive pressure, primary fastbreaks, and various secondary fastbreaks are some of the ways that a coaching staff can implement offensive pressure. A good coaching staff will choose the most effective and efficient primary fastbreak(s) and secondary break(s) that not only fit the coaches' beliefs and philosophies, but also match up with their individual strengths and weaknesses. A team that can successfully apply these difficult types of pressure can be considered a highly volatile With regard to computer memory, it means "temporary" and not "highly changeable," which is the usual meaning of the word. See volatile memory. 1. (programming) volatile - volatile variable. 2. (storage) volatile - See non-volatile storage. team that can come back from deficits because their defense can get them the ball quickly and the offense will be able to convert those additional possessions into more points in a very quick manner. The offense will feed off of the defense and the defense will feed off the offense. Opponents will be forced out of their comfort zone, where they are the most effective. Each game will be within reach right up until the horn goes off. By John Kimble Kimble can stand for:
