That Basketball Life

If you have spent anytime reading our posts here at TBL you will realize that we have a huge amount of respect for the North Carolina way of basketball.  In particular we love the famed secondary break and have highlighted in a past post .  The secondary break is a great tool to include in any team but it is awfully tough for younger groups to understand.  What we have done below is simplified the famed secondary break to a point where it can be incorporated with younger kids.  The break described below also uses our positioning rules for low post and high post entry.

In this drill we are practicing the secondary break.  It is full court 5 v 5 drill which is perfect to get your whole team involved.  Aside from helping with learning the secondary break this is also a good conditioning drill as well as a drill that hits on multiple fundamentals.  It is another one of the drill that is perfect when you are pressed for time and want to use a drill that helps with multiple facets.

One of the most famous offensive sets in college basketball is North Carolina's secondary break.  The Tar Heels run this offense on a miss or a make by the opponent.  It forces tempo and well run correctly it keeps the opposition reacting as opposed to dictating tempo.  Below we attempt to analyze some of the basics.

Here at TBL we like to provide content to help players, teams, and coaches with training tips and tricks. In our effort to look for content, there are times where you run into a video that is just so beautiful to watch.  Such is the video below which shows North Carolina running their secondary break and the different options available to the Tar Heels when running this break. Enjoy!!!
