Transition Fast-Break Offense
Getting the ball up the court quickly in transition has advantages:
1. The fast break can produce easy scores.
2. Pushing the ball up the floor quickly puts pressure on the opponent, causing them to worry about getting back on defense. This in turn may cause them to be less aggressive going for offensive rebounds, and may keep their point guard from penetrating (thinking he/she has to stay back to prevent the fast break).
3. An aggressive team attitude on offense will often carry over to your defense and rebounding.

4. An up-tempo game will favor the team that is well-conditioned. A poorly conditioned team will "run out of gas" by the fourth quarter.
5. The fast-break will often break the opponent's press defense.
6. A team that plays up-tempo will usually use more of its bench players, with frequent substitutions. This often creates good team harmony with many players getting playing time. An up-tempo game will favor the team with a "deep bench", with many good substitute players.
7. Players and fans enjoy a well-played up-tempo game.
8. Getting the ball up the floor quickly before the defense is set is a good tactic against zone defenses.
