Coach Rice has been the head coach for the Broncos for 6 seasons and has won 122 games in that time. His highest win total was 25 during the 2014-2015 season.

The video shows two plays used by Boise in the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Boise State Offense from Leon Rice

Up Side Post Cross

This play gets the ball moving and makes the defenders chase the cutters through multiple screening actions. First, the ball is passed to the wing and 5 sets a back screen for the point guard. The point guard will look to make a scoring cut but if nothing is there he clears out to the right side. After setting the back screen, 5 sets a side ball screen then rolls into a post cross screen set by 2. Once the ball is on the right wing, the Broncos run a pick the picker action for 2 to get a shot at the top of the key.

Double Drag Turn Down

The point guard dribbles up the left sideline as 5 and 4 set a double drag screen. 1 turns the screen down and drives baseline. If the defense collapses, 1 can kick the ball out to a shooter. In the video, 1 kicks it out to 3 and as the defense scrambles it leaves 5 wide open for a shot.
