The Toronto Raptors hosted a Coaches’ Seminar & Open Practice today at Scotiabank Arena. I’ve been to this event in the past, and was a trifle worried whether it would be held this year. I didn’t know if it was little more than a Dwane Casey vanity project. Happily, that’s not the case, as Nick Nurse and his assistant coaches held court (sorry).
Keeping players motivated to practice hard
Nate Bjorkgren, whom Nurse coached with in the D League (no, you didn’t catch a typo; that’s what it was called until recently), seems to be concentrating on defense.
