CORVALLIS - The opportunity for local basketball coaches to learn from former NBA assistant coaches Bob Kloppenburg and Tex Winter is coming up quickly, as the two legendary coaches are the lead speakers at the Oregon State Basketball Coaches Clinic on Saturday.

Kloppenburg has nearly a half-century of coaching experience from high school to the NBA, most notably 12 years with the Seattle Supersonics as their defensive coordinator. He helped develop the pressure defense used throughout the game today, and he has given clinics all over the world teaching his SOS Pressure Defense system.

Winter developed the Triangle Offense, which won nine NBA championships in a span of 12 years when he was an assistant coach with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. He coached for 57 years in the college and professional levels, including stints as head coach in the NBA with the Houston Rockets and in college at Marquette, Kansas State, Washington, Northwestern and Long Beach State.

Both will speak for an extended amount of time on their areas of expertise.

The tentative schedule is as follows:

9:30-10:30 AM: SOS Pressure Defense I with Bob Kloppenburg

10:30-11:30 AM: Triangle Offense I with Tex Winter

12:30-2:00 PM: Watch OSU’s practice

2:00-2:30 PM: Chalk Talk with OSU Coach Jay John

2:30-3:15 PM: SOS Pressure Defense II with Bob Kloppenburg

3:15-4:00 PM: Triangle Offense II with Tex Winter

4:00-4:45 PM: SOS Pressure Defense III with Bob Kloppenburg

4:45-5:30 PM: Triangle Offense III with Tex Winter

The cost to attend the coaches clinic is $100 for the first coach, and $75 for additional coaches from the same team (maximum of three).
