Launch The 2-Game Concept


We have used the 2-game for our last five years at the University of New Mexico where we averaged twenty-one wins per season and then we went to Cal-Berkeley and we used it again to take CAL to the best round in thirty years by winning twenty-two games. We will now see it here at Fresno State University.

This man-to-man (sometimes zone) offense is what we run, basically because we wanted something to use in high pressure situations that was predicated on a pass--no signals, but a pass was the key to the other four of what we were going to run. It has great spacing and I refer to spacing because that helps eliminate help. It is outstanding against pressure and that's why late in a game it is at its best. It is also a very refreshing offense that looks pretty, but it is also very effective. It incorporates all of our philosophy. It is good because we believe it is good and that my friend, is a big key for us as coaches--Faith.

So, here is the 2-game concept and the one thing that enters my mind that I've learned (actually re-learned) is the control of a game you can have with your offense. The other thing is the work, reset--if it doesn't work, quickly reset it and run it over. The best results seem to come after you've brought it out and tried a different approach such as starting with the wing series and coming back out with a reset and now hitting hard with the post series.
