UNC Practice Plan

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
