Rick Barnes Secondary Break by Dana Beszczynski

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.

Rick Barnes Secondary Break by Dana Beszczynski

This Texas Secondary Break Action was run by the Longhorns against Kansas State. There is a lot of ball screening action in this set, plus the use of the stagger early on gives the offense a chance for an early shot.

Rick Barnes has done a masterful job rebuilding the Longhorns offense this year and this set shows the number of options which can been executed in a Secondary Offense.

The college basketball regular season is now in it’s final full month and basically no short list doesn’t have Rick Barnes on that list. There are coaches like Mick Cronin, Jay Wright, Greg McDermott, Steve Fisher, Jim Boeheim, Gregg Marshall and many more. Coach Rich Barnes has his team out on the break using the Rick Barnes Secondary Break.

Texas just dropped Number 7 Kansas this past weekend. Coach Rick Barnes has went from the Hotseat in his 16th year at Texas to the Coach of the Year talk. They were predicted to finish eighth in the 10 team Big 12.

Texas is using their Rick Barnes Secondary Break to perfection so we wanted you to see it too. It might be that new wrinkle that could upset your opponent in the last month of the season.
