After 17 years as a head coach, Roy Williams unveils the secrets to the North Carolina Secondary Break! It all started with legendary coach Dean Smith at North Carolina and was "passed down" to Coach Williams (former Tar Heel assistant) who then went on to guide the University of Kansas basketball program to consistent success for many years. Now, back at North Carolina, Coach Williams and the secondary break have run their way to the 2005 National Title! Williams begins by discussing the advantages and philosophy of his primary and secondary breaks. He teaches you how to set up the break after a made or missed basket, how each player gets down court, each player's position on the court, and when to use the break. Williams presents a series of automatic and set plays off the secondary break that can be used to take advantage of your opponent in transition. This secondary break helped the Tar Heels lead the nation in 2005 in scoring at a rate of 88 points a game while shooting 49.9% from the field!

Many of Coach Williams' current beliefs were developed in his early days of coaching high school basketball in North Carolina. This DVD will illustrate the "Tar Heel Running Game" with the use of players in an impressive on-court demonstration. This style relies on running the floor and sharing the ball with teammates. Advantages of this style are that the running game negates the defense's ability to get set, which leads to many easy baskets. Williams covers his three offensive rules against a set defense, the importance of reading the defense and the importance of getting the ball out of the net and inbounds quickly. To work all facets of the primary break, Williams includes many drills that help offensive advantage situations, communication, finishing, down court passes by post players, quick inbounds pass and more. Once the primary break ends, the secondary offense begins. Multiple options are built into this attacking scheme. Ball reversal, lob, back screen and post feed are all options in the secondary. To safeguard against a denied reversal, a screen away option and on ball screen option keep the offense flowing. Williams uses 5-on-5 play to point out important teaching points. No college team runs the fast break as well as Coach Williams' Tar Heels. This DVD has drills that can be applied to any team and can help your team run and score "all night"!

In the rich Tar Heel basketball tradition, defense has always been a foundation. In this DVD, Coach Williams unpacks the entire system. The numbering system is important and is broken down: 20 = man-to-man, 30 = double team the dribble and 40 = double team the pass. The 20 series is broken into 22, 23 and 24, depending on the point of pick up. Half court coverage is 32 and 33 = three-quarter court pick up with the double team on the dribble. Williams aims for a 3-1-1 balance between man-to-man, scramble and zone defense, which is perfect for the coach who wants to disrupt and change the opponent's offense. On the projection screen, Williams diagrams the coverages in the 32 defense. At the same time, he instructs players to assume the same position as the diagram. Two variations of 32 are presented based on the trap coming from in front or behind. In this live half court session, the defense demonstrates the 32 and 42. The trap is an effective weapon on sideline out of bounds situations. This is a denial defense that attempts to keep the ball from coming inside. Taking questions from the crowd, Williams runs the scramble against a number of different offensive alignments. The versatility of the scramble defense is obvious as Williams demonstrates its consistent flexibility.
