Thunder coach Billy Donovan appeared on the screen, but a white wall and circular mirror were his backdrop, rather than the canvas of Thunder logos that always accompanied his post-practice game and game interviews.
“I really appreciate you doing this,” he said to the moderator, “and keeping the basketball community connected.”
With the NBA season on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, on Wednesday morning Donovan made a live video appearance at the Virtual Basketball Coaches Clinic , hosted at summit.coachesclinic.com. The website says it will stream talks from over 200 speakers over the course of 18 days, touching on different basketball topics.
