A run of successful seasons under Coach Bridgeland has placed Whitman as one of the top programs in the country that also focuses on developing off the court relationships and leaders in today's world. His fast-paced system has made for a fun style of play that your players will love to play within themselves.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilosophy\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Coach Bridgeland's unstoppable fast break  all bets are off. Players are taught to get to the paint - no matter what. If you can keep your dribble and attack in the open court  do it! If you can hit the wings flying up the court  do it and attack middle! If you can hit a rim runner for an easy score at the rim  do it! By attacking mid-line defenders  your opponent will quickly find themselves in foul trouble and frustrated due to allowing easy buckets at the rim.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll see how to teach your athletes to draw two defenders to open up the floor and create more driving lanes once the ball is in the half court. This style of play makes it tough for defenses to deny or take away any one player  as all athletes on offense are looking to attack the paint. You'll put constant pressure on the defense to stop you at the rim.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpacing and Rules\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to open the floor  Bridgeland incorporates a traditional setup: two wings  an inbounder  a post runner  and a ball handler. The ball handler looks to advance the ball as quickly as possible by dribbling or hitting the open wing ahead. Coach Bridgeland gives his point guard three rules to remember at all times: \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet the ball inbound quickly\u0026lt; li\u0026gt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet to the paint as soon as possible\u0026lt; li\u0026gt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure you have a trail inbounder\u0026lt; li\u0026gt;\u0026lt; ul\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003eDrills\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4v0 Transition will allow your players to get used to sprinting to their spots. Players start out at a 75% pace and move up and down the floor  creating proper spacing and positioning. In this pace  athletes are able to visualize where the defense will cut them off and how to reverse the ball quickly in order to create another driving angle to score. \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing traditional fast break drills  Coach Bridgeland helps his players develop the speed and passing skills necessary to play at a fast pace and also attack the paint. Guards work in a 2v2 format  focusing on getting open off the inbound pass and attacking the middle third of the floor. They also work to get open to split their defenders and create separation.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRounding out the video  Bridgeland finishes with 5v0 and 5v5 situations where players have to put everything together in a set amount of time. This teaches athletes to be aware of time and score and helps them get an idea of how quickly they need to move up and down the floor in transition.  \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis video from Coach Bridgeland is a great resource for any program.
