Billy Kennedy Texas A&M Aggies Box Set Play by Wes Kosel

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Billy Kennedy Texas A&M Aggies Box Set Play by Wes Kosel

Here is a box set play from Texas A&M head coach Billy Kennedy. Kennedy is entering his 4th season as head coach of the Aggies. Since taking over the program in 2011-2012, the Aggies have improved each year going from 14 wins in 2011 (4 conference wins) to 18 wins last season (8 in conference). The Aggies are off to a hot start this season with a 5-1 record. They will have a tough test today playing Arizona State, but the Aggies are looking to improve in the SEC this season. A big factor for A&M this season has been Danuel House, a transfer from Houston. Kennedy has had many stops in his coaching career, including 4 schools as a head coach and 9 schools as an assistant. He got his coaching start at Southeastern Louisiana as an assistant in 1985, which is where he graduated from. He then served as an assistant at New Orleans, Wyoming, Northwestern State, Tulane, Texas A&M, Creighton, California, and Miami. His first head coaching job was at Centenary (LA) in 1993. He then moved on to Southeastern Lousiana, Murray State, and finally Texas A&M in 2011.

In this play, the guards start at the block while the post players start at the elbows. 1 passes to 5 as 2 screens up for 4. 5 looks inside to 4 on the cut, but if he isn’t open 5 passes out to 1 on the left wing. 5 then screens down for 2. 2 looks for a shot on the cut, but if nothing is there he dribbles off of the ball-screen from 5. 2 drives as 5 rolls and 4 replaces 5. If nothing is open on the pick-and-roll, 2 looks to pass to 4 who looks for the hi/lo pass to 5 inside.
