To improve the transition from transition offense to half-court offense, use a countdown.
If a trigger isn't run within a certain timeframe (e.g., four seconds), call a turnover.
This encourages players to quickly recognize neutral situations and initiate set plays.
Award bonus points for quick scores in transition to incentivize speed and then transition to a set play when the bonus points are unavailable.
Count out loud so players can hear the count.
