Prior to the full-length team practice, Raptors assistant coaches talked about some of the specialized work they do. Many of us who follow the team know more or less who does what, but to review:
- Nick Nurse – Offense
- We learned a lot about short-clock situations. Coach Nick emphasized two important matters – being prepared to call a play which your team has practised, and having someone you can trust in-bound the ball. One play he showed us hinges entirely for its success on the immediacy of the pass. He stressed the ball must be passed the instant the ref hands it over, because coach is counting on the D not being set.
