Steve Lavin | UCLA | The Fast Break is Such a Key Weapon

The exerpt below is from an article at Bruin Report Online where UCLA coach at the time, Steve Lavin, talks about his plan for his team in the upcoming season.  What I really wanted to archive for my notes is the following passage where he talks about the importance of the face break in the mid-90's.

Lavin:  "And the fast break is such a key weapon, it has to be a key part of your game if you want to win the National Championship. Look at Duke and Arizona, look at Kentucky, look at our '95 team. We broke down that team and figured that 1/3 of our offense came off the break, whether you are counting on baskets generated by defensive rebounds or by the defense off of turnovers. The last 3 years, with Baron and Earl, we are talking at maybe 10-15% of our offense off of breaks."
