Why do we refuse to fast break

I know people on here don't like the guy, but Bill Self (and yes, I'm aware he's working with better talent but alas) is the king of transition offense.....you watch any Kansas game and they're going to score almost every time they get in transition

When he needed help about 7 years ago or so on offense, who did he get to help him? The new Bulls coach, Fred. We need someone who understands offense better as one of our coaches. If one of our assistants is leading our offense, he isn't doing a great job. After timeouts, the offense doesn't have anything different or look to be attacking a weak spot, it's just rest it seems. Maybe they talk defense all the time, I don't know, but our offense doesn't seem to adjust.
 
It's like the team is saying "Hey, watch us whip the ball around the outside ! Aren't we snazzy ? "

Meanwhile, Osun is actually trying to post up, and they miss the fact he is open. Or, he is part of the outside passing game, which makes no sense.
 
I see a lot of parallels to our football team this year. Really good defense and meh offense so we try too hard to control the tempo and take air out of the ball and it makes our offense even worse. Just like football we don't need to run a jet tempo but there are times we need to get into more of a tempo and get a good rhythm going. I'd like to see data on this but it seemed we went on our run when we pushed the pace a little bit.

A lot of offense is about getting in a rhythm or flow and getting the defense on their heels and we just pull up and let the defense setup every time.
