any thoughts on distro settings when runing the fastbreak offense?

ill give u insight on what i tend to do.. 
usually always give more to upperclassman , iq seems very important in fastbreak but isnt everything either.

bigs seem to have a harder time getting touches so i tend to have my best big scorer at say 20-25 and my best per shooter at max of 15 most times as they will chuck alot of 3's if u have +1 or +2 which is neccassry for 80+ per shooters.  
i also tend to have alot of balance most are around 10 proably for a average scoring player + or - depending on how good a scorer he is and how well he is shooting on the season dont forget to keep a eye on how each player is doing and adjust accordingly to find your desire results.

Remember that if you have a good, athletic player with BH and lp ... He can collect free throws like there is no tomorrow in a break.

you can run a balanced offense in FB but its a bad idea if you don't have a balance of talent. FB is the most flexible of the offenses when it comes to distro and also how you want to score, so definitely play to your team. if a guy is killer, don't hesitate to give him 20ppg.

I tend to stay away from any one player from taking too many shots as it zaps their stamina in the fastbreak offense. I tend to go with a balanced approach in that type of offense.

i've never experienced that myself, and have had many 20ppg players in the FB offense. if there is a correlation between shooting and fatigue, it seems to be a very small one. 

wizard if u run press try man to man your better players can also play more minutes ive seen alot of my stud guys with good stamina avg 28-30 mins a good at fairly fresh setting i really like it and have good success now

Do you ever recommend setting a players 3 point shooting to +2 in the fastbreak?  Can you predict how many more 3's will be taken over the course of a season playing someone at +2 vs +1?  And will this increase in 3's taken come as a result of more overall shots, or a higher percentage of shots taken being 3's?

As a general rule of thumb i put elite shooters 85+ per at +2 , if they also have a solid lp though you may want +1 with a higher distro  than say +2 and a lower distro ....at +2 he will chuck alot ,so you may only need 10 or 14 on distro  , again adjust according to how the player is performing , lower a couple if struggling with % or increase if higher like .500+ .

the +/- for 3pta does not affect fga - it only affects the % of shots taken that will be 3s. there may be some incidental impact on fga through indirect effects, for example, maybe fga goes up because of a lower rate of getting fouled when you take 3s or something - i don't mean to exclude those types of indirect effects - but directly, +/- is only meant to impact the % of fga that are 3pta. 

how many more 3s will be taken at +2 than +1 depends on the position. generally, a +2 player takes almost all 3s, its probably a good 20, 25% higher, the 3pta as a % fga, in +2, than +1, but that will definitely vary by position and also the player's ratings (particularly lp and per).

i would recommend on some occasions, playing players at +2 in fb, just like i would for any offense. it is particularly appropriate for teams that need a 3pta lift, with a player with high per but crap lp and/or ft%. it depends what division you are talking about, how often i'd d it - in d1, most elite guards have good lp to complement their good per scoring ratings (per/spd/bh). for those guys, i tend to prefer 0 and +1, but you still get the guy who comes in with 8 lp and a c- ft, and those guys can really improve by not taking 2s. it definitely depends on your team needs as well, if you've got a strong per shooter, on a team without much per shooting, its often strategically important to get as many 3pta as you can out of your 1-2 per scorers. 

Maybe you can afford to give a guy a higher distro in the fastbreak because a smaller percentage of shots came in the half-court offense, and the penalties for over-distribution to a guy are a function of number of shots he takes in the half-court offense as a fraction of total team shots from all sets.  So 20ppg in the fastbreak is really like 15 ppg halfcourt and 5 ppg fastbreak or something like that.  

Do you agree with this distro setup? http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=6439
Campbell 12, Rodrigues 10, Wells 10, Nelson 8, Powell 7, Jeffery 5, Luckett 5, Conoway 5.

Basically i try to get mine as close to 100 as possible.. 
so with that being said no i dont agree with that..
campbell should be higher in the 20-25 range most likely, rod in the 15-20 range wells in the 10-15 range and rest around 8 or so and adjust accordingly after a few games after u see how guys are performing . but thats just what i would do, im not the best coach i havent won no nothing yet. lol but i do have 2 big ten d 1 teams (dif worlds obv.)  that are on the up and up. or so i think haha.
