As a fastbreaker at Cuse-tark, I have had my share of frustrations and i suppose also a few good times along the way.

One of the things that chaps me the most is the slowdown "offense" against the fbpr.  Granted, it is not the magic button that it used to be,  but i still dont like it.

I have often thought it would be nice to put together a noncon schedule of 10 FB teams to insure that I didnt face the dreaded slomo.

But it is not easy to find 10 FB teams and then i also want to make sure that they are the right talent level, and they have to accpet the challenge.

I was thinking it would be nice to put together a lost of D1 FB teams so that guys like me would know where to look when trying to find a fB opponent.

And it might also be nice to commisurate or share ideas, etc with fellow FBians.

So,  If you have a D1 FB team, could you please post here and join the brotherhood of fastbreakers?   indicate which world and team.  and indicate whether you think (or know) that this team has been FB from day one, or whether you or someone else switched to FB  at some point.

Thanks.

World             team                   coach                          original?
Tark               Syracuse             oldave                             yes

OD - I just took over S. Utah in Knight and they run FB (and I will be continuing that)...

World             team                   coach                          original?
Naismith          Louisville            kylederrick                    no
Rupp               Syracuse            bcinsk                           no
Knight             Gonzaga             bcinsk23                       no

bc... are you saying that cuse was not a FB team in rupp when you took them over?  i thought teams all started out with the same O and D in every world?

though i guess someone could have changed it and you changed it back?

or maybe im wrong and FB schools like Syracuse did not start as FB in every world?

rossett2 has been very successful with the fastbreak at Seton Hall in Knight.  He's won a couple of NTs and is usually at or near the top of the Big East.

Oldave, the coach prior had changed it to something else and I changed the Offense back to FB when I got there.

I took over Air Force in Smith two seasons ago and, because I just wasn't frustrated enough at D1, turned them into a FB team.
