The Difference Between Pace and Hurry

[SAMPLE EDITORIAL ESSAY] Transition offense rewards teams that organize while the defense is still finding assignments. The first player down the floor may occupy the rim runner, while a trailing teammate fills behind the ball and stretches the defense. Those lanes create options before the possession becomes a half-court set. Hurry is different. A rushed pass can erase the very advantage that speed created. The goal is to move with urgency while keeping enough control to recognize when the defense has recovered.
