Observations from Practice
- High level of organization
- All drills run to time, no drill goes over time
- Quick transition from drill to drill
- Multiple repetition of fundamentals in short periods of time
- Assistant coaches provide a high level of “on the run” instruction, Coach Williams speaks to the players as a group regularly during practice
- Emphasis on sprinting the floor on transition, not simply running
