Beth Burns swung her whistle in circles, around and around, as she observed practice Wednesday afternoon.
JuJu Watkins burst down the court during a timed conditioning drill with layups and jump shots coinciding at each end. Rayah Marshall attacked the rim before hustling to the back of the player’s line. Kayleigh Heckel used her swift speed to run quicker than her teammates to corral a loose ball before depositing a shot into the net.
Somehow, with all the action laid out in front of her, this was Burns’ quiet time: offensive drills.
