Charleston 5-Out Transition Offense
A breakdown of Pat Kelsey's 5-Out Transition offense
Pat Kelsey is the new coach at Louisville and one of my favorite coaches to study when it comes to 5-Out offense.

My favorite part about studying his offensive system is his 5-Out break, which is what I am going to dive into in this breakdown.

Last season we used a rim runner again (although our break was not great in my opinion) after trying 3 seasons of not having one, and it definitely paid off getting us some easy buckets in transition.
However, with our returning lineup next season, I am exploring and studying running a 5-Out break again and one of the benefits is having the lane wide open which drew me to watching Charleston film. They run to the corners first and then fill the wings with a handler and a trail man.
