Fast Break.
A play in which a team gains possession - through a steal or a defensive rebound - and then pushes the ball downcourt quickly with an outlet pass toward midcourt to the waiting teammates,
hoping to get a good shot off before
the other team has a chance to get back and set up on defense. Usually, a fast break entails that the offense outnumbers the defense by at least a one-man advantage.
Also called the run-and-shoot offense or run-and-gun offense.

Auerbach
 Let Me Tell You a Story: A Lifetime in the Game
By: Red Auerbach & John Feinstein
America's favorite sportswriter teams up with Red Auerbach, the most successful and
admired coach in Basketball history, to tell the best stories of a legendary life. Living
legend Arnold "Red" Auerbach led the Boston Celtics to nine NBA
championships--eight of them consecutive-- during his 17-year tenure in Boston from 1950
to 1966. The fiery coach is a unique personality--brash, opinionated, and unfailingly
accurate. As a coach he never stood still along the sidelines, and in retirement he
remains a lively part of the game, still consulted by coaches, players, and general
managers at age 86.
