David Arseneault Jr. Reno Big Horns Offense by Wes Kosel

Mike Young Wofford Terriers Corner Pin Series

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.

David Arseneault Jr. Reno Big Horns Offense by Wes Kosel

Included in this playbook are two plays from D-League Reno Big Horns head coach David Arseneault Jr. Arseneault is in his first year as head coach of the Reno Big Horns in the NBA D-League. Before taking over for Reno, he served as an assistant coach under his father, David Arseneault Sr., at Division III Grinnell College. He also played for his father at Grinnell (2005-2009), and as a part of the Arseneault high-scoring offense he set a record for assists in a game with 34 in 2008. Once his playing career ended at Grinnell, he moved right into an assistant coaching role. Arseneault served 5 years as an assistant before making the jump to the D-League.

This season, the Big Horns are 16-27 and sit 3rd in the West Division.
