Bob Hurley, Sr.: “Practice” 2018 Nike Coaching Clinic (Las Vegas) Notes | Coach Bryant King

Philosophy
- Practice reflects who you are and who you want to be in the games
- Competitive & High Energy: it’s a laboratory to experiment
- Nothing ventured, nothing gained
- Keep competitive numbers
- Use time wisely
- Goal is to get better everyday
- Have expectations for the team everyday
- Have restrictions to make the practice tougher than games
- EX. WVU has players use the treadmill at 14 mph for 20 seconds
- Push towel from one end of the court to the other
- Make players responsible for mood/energy, not the coaches
- Have drill variety so players are always learning

- Change direction
- Put players who need to run in the corners
