Billy Kennedy Texas A&M Aggies Ball Screen Action

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.

Billy Kennedy Texas A&M Aggies Ball Screen Action

Billy Kennedy and the Texas A&M Aggies came up short against Kentucky in the SEC Final, but they will do some havoc in the NCAA Tournament. If not for some improved 3 point shooting in the second half, Kentucky might have lost this final. Last year, Billy Kennedy looked ahead and said that the Aggies would be a lock for this year’s NCAA Tournament. The Texas A&M Aggies just locked up their coach for the next five years with a contract extension.

Coach Billy Kennedy has accomplished an amazing run at Texas A&M. They have their first SEC regular season championship and will head to the NCAA Tournament after their SEC Run. They had missed the NCAA Tournament the last four years under the leadership of Billy Kennedy, but they have turned it around this year.

Billy Gillispie and Mark Turgeon led the Aggies to six consective NCAA Tournamenet spots. Texas A&M had become a regular fixture in the AP Top 25, ending a drought in the polls back to 1981. Both Gillispie and Turgeon bolted for greener pastures when the opportunity arose, though, leaving the traditional football school for college basketball powerhouses elsewhere.

Daniuel House, a 6 foot-7 transfer from Houston had a HUGE day against Kentucky. He has scoreed in double figures in 13 of their 14 last games.

Jones is not the only senior who has been a driving force in the team’s strong play down the stretch, either. Alex Caruso, a senior point guard who has lived through constant letdowns alongside Billy Kennedy for the past three seasons, does not jump off the stat sheet. But when Texas A&M goes on a big run, you can almost guarantee that Caruso is at the forefront, orchestrating the offense, dishing out assists and making key stops on the defensive end.

I think that the regular season success will help them win a couple games in the NCAA tournament where they try to capture college basketball glory. The Texas Aggies might be poised to make a deep run in the big dance.
